PA UT (PAUT): Butt and Transit Welds - Asymmetyrical Bevel

ISONIC EXPERT_A software application was created for the inspection of planar and circumferential butt welds with symmetrical and asymmetrical bevel, unbeveled, misaligned, and the like with use of wedged linear array probes situated on the parent material

ISONIC EXPERT TRANSIT software application was created for the inspection of transition welds with symmetrical and asymmetrical bevel, unbeveled, misaligned, inclined welded parts, and the like with use of wedged linear array probes situated on the parent material

The movies below illustrate detection of the vertical crack and lack of fusion in the butt weld with asymmetrical bevel with use of the ISONIC 3510T / ISONIC 3510 instrument





ISONIC 3510T / ISONIC 3510 provide the operator with the ability of simple toggling between the S-Scan and live FMC/TFM coverage and imaging at any moment whilst scanning. The same ability is present in the ISONIC 2010 units manufactured after April 30, 2017 and ISONIC 2009 UPA Scope units manufactured after May 31, 2017. Availability of using both complimentary coverage strategies such as True-To-Geometry S-Scan and live FMC/TFM in the same instrument at the same time further improves the versatility of use, the data interpretation, and the reliability of ultrasonic inspections:







At last the video below illustrates the good suitability of ISONIC EXPERT_A software application for the inspection of special complex geometry welds such as train coupler joints, and the like:



Rapid detection of fatigue cracks in the reducer welds with the use of ISONIC EXPERT TRANSIT software application is illustrated by the video below:
