Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging Services by INSPECTION TECHNIC – India
At INSPECTION TECHNIC India, ultrasonic thickness gauging plays a key role in maintaining safety and reliability across critical infrastructure. This non-destructive testing (NDT) technique is used to accurately measure material thickness—essential for monitoring pipelines, tanks, and structural assets in industries like oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, and marine engineering. With our certified expertise, Indian industries count on us to uphold operational excellence and structural integrity.
What is Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging?
Ultrasonic thickness gauging uses high-frequency sound waves to measure how thick a material is—from just one side. It’s a smart and safe way to detect internal wear, corrosion, or thinning in components like steel plates, pipelines, pressure vessels, and tanks. The process is precise, fast, and doesn’t damage the material.
How Does It Work?
Preparation: We clean the surface to ensure good contact for the testing tool.
Transducer Application: An ultrasonic transducer is placed on the surface, sending sound pulses into the material.
Sound Wave Propagation: These waves travel through the material and reflect back from the opposite side.
Thickness Measurement: The time taken for this reflection is measured and converted into an accurate thickness reading.
Applications in Indian Industries
Oil and Gas: We inspect pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels to detect corrosion and prevent leaks or failures—helping oil and gas companies stay safe and efficient.
Construction: For buildings, bridges, and industrial structures, ultrasonic thickness gauging helps assess steel components and ensure they meet safety standards.
Manufacturing: Manufacturers use this technique to monitor wear on machinery and production equipment—supporting smart maintenance and reducing costly breakdowns.
Marine: Ship hulls and offshore structures undergo regular inspection to stay seaworthy and corrosion-free, protecting both assets and crew safety.
