Laser Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement

The measuring principle is the proven ultrasonic technology which has now been further developed for use even at high temperatures by means of laser induction and detection.

Laser ultrasonic thickness measurement.

The basic components of a laser ultrasonic system are a generation laser a detection laser and a detector. Wall thickness measurement of seamless steel tubes has been the most successful application for laser ultrasonics. For measuring material thickness the process involves the following. Laserlinc uses ultrasonic frequencies from 2 25 mhz to 50 mhz.

The laserlinc ultragauge series of ultrasonic devices measure wall thickness or layer thickness and concentricity of clear or opaque plastic rubber glass and metal products like tubing hose pipe insulated wire and cable. It is a non contact technique used to measure materials thickness detect flaws and carry out materials characterization. Lasus today offers a standardised wall thickness measuring system for all the forming stages in the hot production of tubes. In the laser ultrasonic testing system illustrated schematically here the small fiber coupled measurement head is placed near the part to be evaluated and the remote base station contains all the support equipment.

In some cases ultrasonics can measure diameter and ovality eccentricity. In this application a laser ultrasonic system makes wall thickness measurements on tubes while they are in production. Hence if any corrections need to be made they can be made immediately. Thickness measurement in 1 2 steel.
