We are an ultrasonic thickness testing service provider, serving Maine and New England. Our UT opperators are certified to our personnel certification procedure RS-NDT-101-CP which is in accordance with ASNT CP-189, exceeding the reccomendations of SNT-TC-1A. Our inspectors have experience performing ultrasonic thickness testing on many types of structures from dams to railroad tank cars and other industrial components. Please contact us about your thickness testing requirements.
Ultrasonic thickness testing is often used in quality control for ensuring compliance base metal thickness with industry codes and standards. These codes often cite conditions related to corrosion and errosion. These inspections are commonly performed on the structural components in buildings, bridges, dams, railroad tank cars, marine terminals, boats and barges, steel storage tanks, construction equipment, and many other types of structures.
We routinly mobilize to Northern Maine, Southern Maine, Western Maine, Central Maine, and Down East Maine for ultrasonic thickness testing in order to meet the needs of our customers. We provide ultrasonic thickness testing anywhere in the USA but can most readily serve Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing or UTT is an ultrasonic testing technique which is used to measure material thickness. This technique is often used when corrosion is suspected on an in-service component such as a steel floor, boat hull, tank wall, or structural framing. UTT is also used to evaluate such components in new construction to ensure proper thickness of the part in accordance with the construction specifications. We routinly provide ultrasonic thickness testing services to Maine and New England based customers. This technique requires access from only one side of the part under examination. The testing surface must be made smooth so that it is free of loose paint, rust, and dirt. A smooth testing surface ensures that the ultrasonic energy can be effectively transmitted into the test part. Ultrasonic thickness testing can usually be performed through surface coatings such as paint or an epoxy liner as long as the coating is tightly bonded and adhered well to the base material. We use a technique called gate one minus gate two, meaning that material thickness is determined by measuring the distance between two backwall reflections to ensure the most accurate measurement. We calibrate our flaw detectors on a block of similar material to the test piece and of a known thickness so that measurements are made accurately.
