Ultrasonic thickness measurements

Ultrasonic testing gauging is a non-destructive testing method of ultrasonic thickness measurement & is used to inspect the metal thickness of ship hulls, pipes, and structural steel.

Many businesses rely on thickness measurements to monitor corrosion, erosion, and damage. The method of ultrasonic thickness measuring (UTM) is widely utilised, and it may be applied to a variety of structures and components, including ship hulls, pipes, pressure vessels, and structural steel.

Metal loss due to corrosion, erosion, or damage must be detected to ensure the examined item/continuous structure's safety and function. It can also be used to decide whether repairs or replacements are required, or whether the item or structure should be retired. Customers can use ultrasonic thickness measurement data to assess if the tested item meets the required standards.

An ultrasonic thickness gauge measures the time it takes for a sound pulse generated by a small probe known as an ultrasonic transducer to go through a test piece and reflect back from the inside surface or far wall. The test piece's thickness is estimated and shown on a digital screen based on this measurement.

The testing equipment's portability enables for on-site assessment and immediate findings. If the approach detects an issue, additional non-destructive testing procedures might be utilised to investigate the findings further.
