Ultrasonic thickness measurement

Ultrasonic thickness measurement is one of the methods of non-destructive testing, an acoustic method for determining the technical condition of an object. Its essence is to measure the thickness of the walls and other details of the object. The main advantage of this method is the possibility of taking measurements without decommissioning the object, as well as the possibility of monitoring even in hard-to-reach places, for example, when access to the inside of the product is difficult or impossible.

In addition, ultrasonic thickness measurement is characterized by high productivity, high measurement accuracy, and the ability to study both metal and non-metal products.

Ultrasonic thickness measurement of pipelines

One of the most common objects of ultrasonic thickness measurement are pipelines for various purposes. What parameters of pipelines can be assessed by means of ultrasonic thickness measurement?

• pipe wall thickness
• dimensions of individual parts and parts
• thickness of bimetallic overlays
• residual wall thickness of the product subject to wear

Carrying out ultrasonic thickness measurement

Ultrasonic thickness measurement requires special equipment. In addition, the skills to use the equipment, certain knowledge of this area, experience with various objects in different conditions – all this is a prerequisite for conducting a qualitative study and the key to obtaining the most accurate and reliable results. That is why we recommend contacting professionals – specialists of our Non-Destructive Testing Laboratory for help in conducting ultrasonic thickness measurement.
