UTG is a method of non-destructively measuring the local thickness of a solid element (usually made of metal) based on the time it takes for ultrasonic waves to return to the surface. This type of measurement is usually done using ultrasonic thickness measuring devices.We are equipped with state-of-the-art ultrasonic thickness gauges that feature the latest through-the-coat measurement technologies and do not require removal of paint from the surface.
Advantages:
Need access from one level only
Measuring the amount of corrosion and erosion
Thickness measurement at high temperature (up to 350°C)
High temperature thickness measurement is a special category. Standard transducers are not designed to withstand high temperatures and may be damaged or destroyed due to changes in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials used in their construction. Material temperature changes affect the speed of sound and the accuracy of thickness measurements. We use special transducers and couplers with A-Scan devices to do this.
Oxide scale thickness measurement
We provide on-site oxide scale thickness measurement services to measure the thickness of oxide scale layers inside boiler tubes. This device simultaneously displays the thickness of the metal of the boiler tube and the thickness of the oxide layer. Knowing the thickness of the oxide scale helps to predict the life of the pipe.
