Erosion and corrosion can gradually reduce the material thickness of pipelines, storage tanks, boilers, pressure equipment, and various other industrial structures. Ultrasonic thickness gauges also provide the basis for identifying areas of wall thinning, planning inspections, and supporting maintenance decisions.

Accurate paint thickness measurement helps collision repair teams control refinishing work on plastic bumpers and fascias that incorporate ADAS sensors.

A practical overview of measuring blanket, packing, and plate thickness on offset presses, including non-destructive measurement considerations and probe selection.

An ultrasonic coating thickness gauge helps control the thickness of lacquer coatings on guitars with wood or graphite substrates without damaging the surface.

Ultrasonic measurement helps determine the remaining thickness of acrylic windows from one side, supporting wear monitoring and aircraft window refurbishment. An ultrasonic thickness gauge enables inspection without removing the window or requiring mechanical measurement from both sides. Measurements can be performed from one side of the surface when the probe is properly coupled to the material.
