Roadsafe LLC supports municipalities, fabricators, and contractors with local, Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) services in Rhode Island and the New England region. We have experience performing non-destructive testing (NDT) to many standards and on many types of structures.
Common Applications of Thickness Testing (UTT)
Ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) is often used for measuring wall thickness on pump station structures, water storage tanks, wastewater tanks, pressure vessels and piping, railcars, bobtails and propane tankers, construction and maintenance equipment, ships, and steel boat hulls.
Useful to municipal facilities, metal fabricators, general contractors, heavy truck and railcar repair shops, ship builders, pressure vessel owners and inspectors.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) in Rhode Island
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) is used to measure material thickness and evaluate wall loss in new and in-service components, including steel tanks, pump stations, pressure vessels, marine hulls, piping systems, and structural steel. This technique helps verify compliance with design and construction specifications while identifying material loss caused by corrosion, erosion, or wear that could impact structural integrity and service life. UTT utilizes pulse-echo ultrasonic sound waves to accurately determine material thickness and requires access to only one side of the component. For optimal results, the test surface should be reasonably smooth and free of loose scale, rust, and flaking coatings to ensure effective transmission of ultrasonic energy. In many applications, measurements can be obtained through thin, well-bonded coatings such as paint or epoxy linings, eliminating the need for coating removal.
