  • Using two distinct samples, this test was conducted to accurately identify and measure deviations in thickness caused by corrosion.

  • Thickness Range: 1.0 ~ 1.2 mm
  • Thickness Range: 2.0 ~ 2.3 mm

  • Thickness measurements are derived by observing the shift in the reference point where the ultrasonic signal intersects the measurement gate.
  • Consequently, if the material’s thickness fluctuates during an inspection, the resulting visual representation changes accordingly, as depicted in the images above.

  • The following PAUT scan data represents the thickness measurements obtained for Sample #1.

  • Evaluating Average Thickness via Color-Mapped C-Scan:
    • 1. The baseline position indicates an average thickness of 3.5 mm.
    • 2. Users can identify localized variations by observing significant color deviations relative to the 3.5 mm baseline.
    • Tip: Utilize the accompanying ColorMap as a reliable reference to interpret thickness values.
