How it works

  1. 1
    Define grid

    Agree the locations and extent of thickness measurement based on the survey purpose.

  2. 2
    Prepare surfaces

    Ensure reading surfaces are cleaned to the degree required for reliable readings.

  3. 3
    Measure

    Take ultrasonic thickness readings at the agreed points and record results.

  4. 4
    Report

    Provide a thickness report with readings, maps if requested, and observations of wastage.

Frequently asked questions

What does a thickness measurement deliver?

UT readings at agreed points on hull or tank plating, presented in a report with wastage observations.

Is this a class-approved UT survey?

It is independent measurement support; class-approved surveys follow the relevant classification society procedures separately.

Findings are documented with clear observations, supporting evidence and practical follow-up recommendations where appropriate. The final report is structured for commercial and technical review, and attendance timing, access and the agreed scope are confirmed before work begins.
