Thickness Gauges

An ultrasonic thickness gauge is particularly useful for non-destructive thickness measurement when access is only possible from one side of the material, for example pipes or tanks. Thickness measurement can be performed on most common engineering materials, such as metal, plastic and glass.

Non-destructive Thickness Gauging

An ultrasonic thickness gauge is a crucial instrument in non-destructive testing (NDT), operating on principles similar to sonar but at much higher frequencies. A transmitter emits a short pulse of ultrasound into the material. This pulse reflects off the opposite surface and returns to a receiver. By analyzing the time it takes for the pulse to return, the thickness gauge calculates and displays the material thickness. This method allows for precise thickness measurement without causing any damage, making it indispensable in various industrial applications.
