Thanks to unique True-To-Geometry Volume Overlap Coverage and Real Time Imaging ISONIC 3510 is suitable for high performance inspection of simple and complex geometry welds (butt, longitudinal, fillet, lap, corner, elbow, etc) with scanning from one or both sides simultaneously (when applicable), bolts, bridge hanger pins, wind turbine and other shafts, annular rings, flanges, rails and railway axles and wheels, CRFP and GRFP composite panels and profiled stuff, and the like. Precise and easy reproducible automatic Equalizing (Homogenizing) of the Sensitivity within Entire Cross-Section / Volume of the Material is provided thanks to the unique TCG-independent angle gain / gain per focal law compensation solution combined with DAC / TCG image normalization. Along with 100% raw data capturing and scanning performance monitoring, on-line displaying, and recording this provides the Highest Degree of Testing Integrity Thanks to True-To-Geometry Volume Overlap Coverage and Imaging and Equalizing (Homogenizing) of the Sensitivity within Entire Cross-Section / Volume of the Material the inspection results produced by ISONIC 3510 are quickly and easy interpretable and well acceptable by the UT Pros and non-Pros as well ISONIC 3510 is packed into the IP 65 reinforced plastic case with no intake air or any other cooling means. The large 800X600 8.5” bright screen provides fine resolution and visibility for all types of inspection data presentation at strong ambient light along with the optimized power consumption rate for the outdoor operation ISONIC 3510 is fully compliant with the following codes ASME Code Case 2541 – Use of Manual Phased Array Ultrasonic Examination Section V ASME Code Case 2557 – Use of Manual Phased Array S-Scan Ultrasonic Examination Section V per Article 4 Section V ASME Code Case 2558 – Use of Manual Phased Array E-Scan Ultrasonic Examination Section V per Article 4 Section V ASTM 1961– 06 – Standard Practice for Mechanized Ultrasonic Testing of Girth Welds Using Zonal Discrimination with Focused Search Units ASME Section I – Rules for Construction of Power Boilers ASME Section VIII, Division 1 – Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels ASME Section VIII, Division 2 – Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels.
