Painted Pipes and Tanks39DL PLUS™ ultrasonic thickness gauges can accurately measure the remaining wall thickness of metal pipes and tanks through paint and similar coatings. Echo-to-echo and THRU-COAT™ measurement techniques using our dual transducers enable you to calculate internal metal wall thickness in a way that removes the paint from the measurement.

Internal OxideLong-term high-temperature exposure of steam boiler tubes can encourage the growth of iron oxide, limiting tube life, reducing boiler efficiency, and leading to more serious problems like potential structural failure. The 39DL PLUS instrument can accurately measure the thickness of the internal oxide scale in steam boiler tubes.

High-Temperature Metals39DL PLUS UT thickness gauges with temperature compensation can take high-temperature thickness measurements up to 500 °C (932 °F). As a result, routine testing and inspections of in-service equipment can be done without a costly shutdown.

Encoded B-ScanB-scans deliver a two-dimensional image, offering insight through analysis of corroded or pitted areas in materials such as piping and tank floors and walls. B-scans are obtained with respect to UT transmitted pulses. They are received the same way as an A-scan except the transducer can be moved over a linear distance rather than kept in a fixed position.
