• Measure remaining wall thickness of corroded or eroded metal piping, valves, and storage tanks
• Verify wall thickness prior to weld repairs
• Measure remaining wall thickness through paint and protective coatings
• Requires access to only one side (typically outside) of piping
• Measures at elevated surface temperatures to 650 degrees F

• T-Mike E
• T-Mike ES with high speed scanning and minimum thickness display
• T-Mike EL with datalogger for permanent documentation of thickness readings
• T-Scope III (measure through coatings)

Application(s)

• Locate internal defects such as laps, porosity, and forging defects in piping, valves, and storage tanks
• Verify integrity of welds: check for lack-of-fusion, undercuts, and cooling cracks
• Locate and size discontinuities in structural components
• Also addresses thickness measurement applications

Recommended Instrument

• FlawMike

• Verify tension on installed manway studs in nuclear reactors
• Confirm uniform loading of gasketed flange bolts

• BoltMike
