Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM)

Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) is a non-destructive technique used to measure the local thickness of structural materials. By calculating the time it takes for ultrasonic waves to travel through steel and return, UTM detects corrosion, wastage, and structural deterioration, ensuring hull integrity.

Technique capability:

  • Specified in classification society surveys for hull members.
  • Detects corrosion, wastage, and unforeseen damage.
  • Provides data for hull strength evaluation and maintenance planning.
  • Applicable to most types of steel structures.
