Description/Abstract The ultrasonic method of wall thickness measurement of pipes cannot be used without good acoustic contact between the ultrasonic generating device and the wall. A new method was developed for calculating the wall thickness on the basis of the time needed for passage of the single or multiple reflections of an ultrasonic signal in lengthwise and transversal direction in Plexiglas and in steel. The relative error of measurement in the 4 to 12 mm thickness range amounts to about 3.5%, using a defectoscope. The method is useful for detecting scaling defects. (TTT)
