Ultrasonic Thickness Measuring

Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement is a core part of our corrosion‑monitoring and asset‑integrity work. At Charlton Metal Testing, our technicians carry out UTM across pipework, vessels, structural steel, storage tanks, and general plant, providing accurate wall‑thickness data that supports maintenance planning and regulatory compliance. Using calibrated digital UT gauges and industry‑standard procedures, we deliver reliable measurements even in challenging access or environmental conditions.

Our teams work throughout the UK and internationally, supporting shutdowns, integrity campaigns, and routine inspection programmes. We also carry out hull thickness surveys on ships and marine structures, providing clear, repeatable data for class requirements, repair planning, and ongoing corrosion assessment. Whether you need isolated spot checks, full‑coverage grid mapping, or verification of known corrosion areas, we produce structured datasets that make it easy to track condition and remaining life over time.

Why ultrasonic thickness measurement?

• Accurate wall‑thickness readings for corrosion, erosion, and general material loss
• Non‑destructive and fast, ideal for in‑service inspection
• Suitable for a wide range of materials and component geometries
• Minimal surface preparation, often requiring only light cleaning
• Effective on both coated and uncoated surfaces
• Supports integrity assessments, remaining‑life calculations, and maintenance planning
• Scalable, from single‑point checks to full‑coverage grid surveys
• Applicable to marine assets, including ship hulls, decks, tanks, and structural members
