Thickness Measurement of Metal Test.

Our Services

Non-destructive evaluation of metal thickness using ultrasonic or mechanical measurement techniques

Thickness Measurement of Metal Test is a non-destructive inspection (NDT) used to determine the remaining wall thickness of metallic components such as plates, pipes, tanks, structural members, and industrial equipment. It is typically conducted using Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges (UTG), magnetic gauges, or calibrated micrometers—depending on material type and accessibility.

Why Thickness Measurement MetalMatters.

Detects Corrosion, Erosion & Metal Loss in Real Time

Industrial metal components deteriorate due to: Chemical corrosion, Wear & abrasion. Thickness testing provides direct evidence of metal loss, helping identify critical thinning before failure occurs.

Ensures Structural Integrity & Prevents Accidents

Reduced metal thickness can lead to: Pipe bursts, Tank leakage, Structural collapse, Pressure equipment failure, Costly shutdowns Regular thickness monitoring ensures components remain within safe limits as defined by ASME, IS, and industry codes.

Confirms Compliance With Codes & Manufacturing

Thickness requirements are defined under: IS 2062 – Structural Steel, IS 3589 / IS 1239 – Steel Pipes, Thickness measurement provides quantifiable evidence for QA/QC, audits, and statutory inspections.

Cost-Effective Predictive Maintenance & Asset Life Estimation

Measuring thickness helps engineers: Calculate remaining life (RL), Predict future corrosion rate, Plan preventive maintenance, Avoid emergency failures & downtime. This leads to safer, more economical industrial operations.
