Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM)
Confirmation of component thickness can assist in the determination of life expectancy of any part. Ultrasonic Thickness Gages accurately measure wall thickness and corrosion of all metals, including steel and aluminum, plastic, ceramics and others. Thickness gauging is a method of performing non-destructive measurement (gauging) of the local thickness of a solid element (typically made of metal, if using ultrasound testing for industrial purposes) basing on the time taken by the ultrasound wave to return to the surface. This type of measurement is typically performed with an ultrasonic thickness gauge
UTM Advantages
Does not require access to both sides of the sample
Can be engineered to cope with coatings, linings, etc
Good accuracy (0.1 mm and less) can be achieved using standard timing techniques
Can be easily deployed, does not require laboratory conditions
Digital UTM gives directly Thickness on display
