Ultrasonic thickness gauge
An ultrasonic thickness gauge is a device used to measure the thickness of materials, typically metals, using sound waves. It emits high-frequency sound pulses that travel through the material and reflect back when they hit a boundary, such as the inner surface. By calculating the time it takes for the sound to return, the gauge determines the thickness. This tool is essential in various industries for assessing material integrity, detecting corrosion, and ensuring safety in structures like pipelines and tanks, without causing any damage to the material being tested.
