What is Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement?
Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) is a non-destructive testing technique used to measure the thickness of solid elements such as steel, plastic, and ceramics. It uses ultrasonic waves to determine the thickness of materials when access is limited to only one side.
UTM is essential for monitoring corrosion and erosion in pipelines, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and structural components. Regular thickness surveys help predict remaining service life and plan maintenance activities effectively.
- Single-side access measurement
- High accuracy (0.01mm resolution)
- Rapid inspection capability
- Digital data logging
