Thickness Testing
Ultrasonic thickness testing measures remaining wall thickness on tanks, pipework and structures to monitor corrosion and wear.
Overview
Thickness Testing uses ultrasonic gauges to measure the remaining wall thickness of a component from a single side, without cutting or drilling. It is the primary tool for tracking corrosion and erosion on tanks, pressure vessels, pipelines and structural sections.
By trending thickness readings over time, NDT Australia helps asset owners forecast remaining life, prioritise repairs and demonstrate that equipment remains fit for service.
Applications
Thickness Testing is applied across a wide range of assets and industries, including:
- Corrosion monitoring on storage tanks and vessels
