INFORMATION QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do ultrasonic thickness measurement devices work?

Ultrasonic devices use high-frequency sound waves to measure the thickness of a material. The device sends out sound waves and calculates the time it takes for these waves to travel through the material and return.

On which materials can ultrasonic thickness measurement be performed?

Measurements can be performed on various materials including metal, plastic, glass, and composites.

How accurate are the devices?

The accuracy of the devices varies by model and brand but they generally can measure with an accuracy of ±0.01 mm.

How long does the measurement process take?

A measurement typically takes a few seconds. However, surface preparation and other adjustments may take more time.

How is the calibration of ultrasonic thickness measurement devices done?

Calibration is usually done using calibration blocks provided by the manufacturer. This calibration is repeated and certified each year.
