Ultrasonic Testing Thickness Measurement & Corrosion Level II

Thickness measuring is essential across many industries to monitor corrosion, erosion and damage. Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) is commonly used and the method can be applied to a wide range of structures and components that includes ship hulls, piping, pressure vessels and structural steel.

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing provides critical information regarding the current status and remaining life of piping, tanks and vessels. Determining the thickness of a material is essential information for a number of situations.

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing utilizes high frequency sound energy to produce highly accurate thickness measurements.  This technology can be utilized in one form or another in almost any environment or situation.
