Ultrasonic thickness gauging

Ultrasonic thickness gauging is a widely used non-destructive test techniques for measuring the thickness of a material from one side. It is fast, reliable & versatile & unlike a micrometer or calliper it requires access top only one side of the test piece.

Virtually any common engineering material can be measuredultrasonically. Ultrasonic thickness gages can be set up for metals, plastics, composites, fibreglass, ceramics & glass.

On line or in process measurement of extruded plastics & rolledmetal is often possible as is measurement of individual layers or coating in multilayer fabrications.

In any ultrasonic gauging application the choice of gauge &transducer will depend on the material to be measured thickness range, geometry, temperature, accuracy requirements & any special conditions that may be present.
