Ultrasonic thickness gauges (UT) exploit the flight time of an acoustic pulse travelling through the material and reflected by the opposite surface: the speed of sound in the material (typically 3000-6000 m\/s in metals) determines the relationship between time and thickness. Dual-element technology (twin-crystal probes) allows measurement in the presence of corrosion, even on irregular surfaces. Non-contact laser thickness gauges apply triangulation or confocal sensors to measure sheet and strip in motion. Magnetic instruments exploit variations in the field to measure the walls of steel containers.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ti-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"categorie-di-strumenti-coperte\">Instrument categories covered <a class=\"roder-up\" href=\"#\" title=\"Back to top\" aria-label=\"Torna all&#x2019;inizio della pagina\">\u2191 up<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The section brings together mechanical fork and micrometer thickness gauges for sheet and foil, thickness gauges for thin film and strip, bench thickness gauges for textiles, paper, leather and rubber in accordance with DIN\/EN\/ISO\/ASTM standards, ultrasonic thickness gauges for corrosion with dual-element probes, precision single-element UT gauges for thin and composite materials, non-contact laser thickness gauges for in-line measurement (LTM, LWM), and magnetic thickness gauges for measurements on walls accessible from one side only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ti-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"normative-e-standard\">Regulations and standards <a class=\"roder-up\" href=\"#\" title=\"Back to top\" aria-label=\"Torna all&#x2019;inizio della pagina\">\u2191 up<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UT measurement follows EN 14127, EN 15317 and ASTM E797 for thickness in the presence of corrosion, as well as UNI EN ISO 16809 for the test procedure.
