Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges
Reliable ultrasonic thickness gauges designed for accurate, non-destructive measurement of wall thickness and corrosion in railway components, pipelines, and metal structures—ideal for field inspections and maintenance operations.
OVERVIEW
We provide advanced ultrasonic thickness gauges tailored for railway and industrial applications, combining high precision, robust performance, and ergonomic design. Our featured models, the ExScan1000 and the Sonocon B (Thickness Gauge+ version)—are engineered for non-destructive wall thickness measurements and corrosion evaluation in pipelines, rail components, storage tanks, and metal structures.
The ExScan1000 is a compact yet powerful unit designed for fast, one-sided access measurements, offering excellent readability in outdoor conditions. It’s especially effective for detecting wall thinning in critical infrastructure under harsh field environments.
The Sonocon B Thickness Gauge+ version stands out for its multi-mode capability, structured data storage, and intuitive controls. It supports thickness B-Scan and C-Scan acquisition, precise velocity calibration, and real-time coupling monitoring—making it ideal for detailed rail and weld inspections.
Both models are lightweight, user-friendly, and designed to support both right- and left-handed users. Whether for preventive maintenance, infrastructure diagnostics, or regulatory compliance, these gauges provide the accuracy and reliability required for today’s demanding field conditions.

FAQS
What Are Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges?
Ultrasonic thickness gauges are non-destructive testing (NDT) devices that use ultrasonic waves to measure the wall thickness of materials. These gauges are widely used in the railway industry to evaluate wear, corrosion, and manufacturing flaws. By emitting high-frequency sound waves into a component and analyzing the echo return time, the device can accurately calculate thickness, making it ideal for detecting defects like corrosion, disbonding, or forging flaws that may compromise railway safety.
Key Applications in Railway Infrastructure
Ultrasonic thickness gauges are indispensable in railway track maintenance, providing data-driven insights without damaging components. Common applications include:
Measuring rail head and web thickness
Monitoring wall thinning in pipes and tanks
Inspecting welded joints and heat-affected zones
Evaluating forged parts and corrosion-prone areas
These applications help rail engineers schedule maintenance, prevent failures, and maintain compliance with safety standards.
The Critical Features of UT Thickness Gauges
Given their safety-critical role in railway infrastructure, ultrasonic thickness gauges must meet specific standards in design, performance, and durability. Key features include:
Lightweight & portable for field usability
Sunlight-readable displays for outdoor visibility
High accuracy and fast response
Durable IP65 protection for use in dust, moisture, and high temperatures
Our gauges, including the Sonocon B (Thickness Gauge+) and ExScan1000, are built to perform in harsh operating conditions typical of railway environments.
Portable Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges: Why Size Matters
Most railway inspections are conducted in challenging outdoor conditions. That’s why portability matters. Devices like the ExScan1000 feature small dimensions and lightweight designs, making them easy to use on-site without sacrificing accuracy. Similarly, the Sonocon B combines advanced thickness measurement with multi-scan display options, while remaining field-friendly.
What Makes a Non-Destructive Thickness Gauge Reliable?
A good non-destructive thickness gauge must do more than just measure. It must offer:
High repeatability across different materials
Real-time coupling control
Memory storage for large-scale inspections
Compatibility with various probes and scan modes
Our devices meet international standards such as EN 14127 and EN 12668, ensuring their performance and reliability.
