Ultrasonic Thickness Testing

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UT)
Accurate, non-destructive measurement of structural integrity.

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UT) is a proven non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to accurately measure the remaining thickness of metal structures without causing damage to the asset. It is an essential tool for assessing corrosion, erosion, pitting and material loss in vessels, offshore structures, pipelines and industrial equipment.

Midwest Marine Group provides professional ultrasonic thickness testing services for the marine, offshore, mining, oil & gas, energy and infrastructure sectors. Using calibrated ultrasonic equipment, our qualified inspectors deliver precise thickness measurements that assist clients in evaluating structural condition, planning maintenance and ensuring ongoing compliance with industry standards.

Our Ultrasonic Thickness Testing Services Include
Vessel Hull Surveys

Measurement of hull plating, decks, bulkheads, tanks and structural members to identify corrosion, plate wastage and loss of structural integrity.

Marine Condition Assessments

Supporting pre-purchase, insurance, condition and suitability surveys with accurate thickness measurements and technical reporting.

Offshore & Industrial Structures

Inspection of offshore platforms, steelwork, storage tanks, pressure vessels, process equipment and structural components.

Pipelines & Infrastructure

Thickness measurement of pipelines, pipework, pressure systems and steel infrastructure to monitor corrosion and support asset integrity programs.

Corrosion Monitoring

Routine inspections to monitor corrosion rates, identify deterioration trends and assist with preventative maintenance planning.

Asset Life Assessment

Providing reliable data to assist engineers and asset owners in determining remaining service life and prioritising repair or replacement works.

Why Ultrasonic Thickness Testing?

Unlike visual inspections, ultrasonic testing can accurately determine the remaining wall thickness of metal components, even where corrosion is hidden beneath coatings or internal surfaces. This enables early identification of structural deterioration before it becomes a significant safety or operational issue.

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing offers numerous advantages, including:

Non-destructive inspection with no damage to the asset
Accurate measurement of remaining material thickness
Early detection of corrosion, erosion and pitting
Reduced maintenance costs through preventative planning
Improved structural integrity and asset reliability
Supports insurance, compliance and engineering assessments
Minimises downtime by identifying issues before failure occurs
