Wall thickness measurement
Precise wall thickness measurement is vital for ensuring the dimensional accuracy and structural integrity of tubes, sheets, and profiles. FOERSTER testing systems use the ultrasonic pulse-echo method to perform continuous, non-destructive thickness control with exceptional precision and repeatability.
Wall thickness is a key quality parameter in metal production. Even minor deviations from the defined tolerance range can affect forming, strength, or sealing properties. FOERSTER systems measure wall thickness continuously during production using the ultrasonic pulse-echo technique, which determines the time between transmitted and reflected sound waves. This allows accurate detection of thickness variations and out-of-tolerance areas in real time. The contactless, non-destructive method ensures reliable results even under harsh industrial conditions. Integrated into automated lines, FOERSTER wall thickness measurement systems provide precise monitoring, process optimization, and traceable quality documentation – ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy across every product batch.
