Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM)

Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) is a non-destructive testing method used to inspect the metal thickness of ship hulls, piping and structural steel.

View Details

Detection of metal loss caused by corrosion, erosion or damage is vital to ensure the continued safety and operation of the inspected item/structure. It can also help determine if repair work or replacement is needed or if the item/structure should be retired. Ultrasonic thickness measurement data gives customers the necessary information required to determine if the tested item has the adequate metal thickness for which it was designed.

An ultrasonic thickness gauge works by precisely measuring how long it takes for a sound pulse that has been generated by a small probe called an ultrasonic transducer to travel through a test piece and reflect back from the inside surface or far wall. From this measurement, the thickness of the test piece is calculated and displayed on a digital screen.

The portability of the testing equipment allows for on-site inspection and results are instant. If a problem has been detected by the technique, additional non-destructive testing methods can be used to further investigate the findings.

Intertek’s inspectors are highly experienced in performing ultrasonic thickness measurements and corrosion evaluations for all industry sectors including oil and gas, power generation, structural contractors and foundries.
