Since December 1, 2017 ISONIC 2005 is phased out; the full support of the existing instruments is continued. ISONIC 2005 is successed by the ISONIC3505

ISONIC 2005 uniquely combines functionality and mobility of the high performance portable digital ultrasonic flaw detector with recording, imaging, and data processing capabilities of smart computerized inspection system

ISONIC 2005 allows resolving of a variety of ultrasonic inspection tasks:

  • A-Scan-based inspection using conventional pulse echo, back echo attenuation, and through transmission techniques

  • Line Scanning and Recording:

    • Thickness Profile B-Scan Imaging and Recording
    • Flaw Detection B-Scan cross-sectional Imaging and Recording for the Longitudinal and Shear Wave Inspections
    • Flaw Detection / Corrosion Screening CB-Scan Horizontal Plane-View Imaging and Recording for the Shear, Surface, and Guided Wave Inspections
    • TOFD / CHIME Inspection – RF B-Scan and D-Scan Imaging

  • XY-Scanning and Recording with C-Scan and B-Scan Imaging

For all types of the Line Scanning and XY-Scanning coverage the A-Scans are recorded at each probe position and may be played back and evaluated at the postprocessing stage.This allows performing of the defects characterization through the echo-dynamic pattern analysis off-line

The Thickness Profile B-Scan is convertible into the format compatible with the various Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance (RBIM) procedures

ISONIC 2005 has practically unlimited capacity for the storage of the:
  • Single A-Scans accompanied with the corresponding instrument settings
  • Ultrasonic signal spectrum graphs (FFT) accompanied with the corresponding RF A-Scans and the instrument settings
  • Various A-Scans sequence records along with the corresponding Thickness Profiles, B-Scans, CB-Scans, TOFD Maps; each record is accompanied with the corresponding instrument settings
