ISONIC VLFS CU allows performing of the Vertical Line Focusing Scanning and Imaging of thetubular parts and materials 

The typical applications relate to theinspection of:
narrow gap heavy thickness longitudinal welds
ER longitudinal welds in tubes
seamless tubes
etc
This inspection software option is available for the ISONIC 3510, ISONIC 2010, and ISONIC 2009 UPA Scope instruments and featured with:
Built-In Ray Tracer - Scanning Pattern (Scan Plan) Design

Automatic creating of inspection reports - hard copy / PDF File

Compression wave cross-sectional coverage of the material with use of VLFS strategy combined with the RF A-Scan capturing ensures detection and distinguishing of the vertically oriented cracks and other planar sharp edges discountinuities. The said innovative modality also known as a reverse TOFD technique is based on the analysis of tip diffraction echoes providing high precision evaluation of the defects position and dimensions with use of a single probe / one side access only
