Since December 1, 2019 ISONIC 2008 is phased out; the full support of the existing instruments is continued. ISONIC 2008 is successed by the ISONIC3208

ISONIC 2008 uniquely combines the functionality and mobility of the high performance portable digital ultrasonic flaw detector with recording, imaging, and data processing capabilities of the smart computerized multi-channel inspection system

ISONIC 2008 resolves the wide variety of ultrasonic inspection tasks:

  • Single- and Multichannel A-Scan-based inspections using the conventional pulse echo, back echo attenuation, and through transmission techniques

  • Single Channel Straight 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

  • Multi-Channel Straight Line Scanning and Strip Chart Recording:

    • Multi-Channel Thickness Profile B-Scan Imaging and Recording
    • Multi-Channel Combined TOFD and Pulse Echo Weld Inspection and Recording
    • Multi-Channel Pulse Echo Flaw Detection for the Shear, Surface, and Guided Wave Inspections
    • etc

  • 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 2008 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, Strip Charts; each record is accompanied with the corresponding instrument settings
ISONIC 2008 complies with requirements of National and International Codes:
  • ASME Section I – Rules for Construction of Power Boilers
  • ASME Section VIII, Division 1 – Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels
