In-line Ultrasonic (Immersion Bath) Thickness Gauge for Pipes

The continuity of quality in industrial pipe production and the assurance of safety and performance require measurement and testing processes. In the production of polymer pipes, the thickness of the material is a crucial factor in terms of product durability and functionality. Ultrasonic immersion bath is a modern method that ensures accurate and effective measurement.

Fundamentals of Ultrasonic Measurement Technology

Ultrasonic measurement is a method of measuring thickness or other physical properties using the reflections of sound waves within a material. Ultrasonic waves are sent into the material and bounce back from surfaces. The time taken for these waves to return is analyzed by computerized systems, providing detailed information about the material's properties.
