Benefits

• Measures remaining metal thickness on corroded and coated structures
• All measurements are error checked using 3 return echoes to give repeatable, reliable results
• Accepted by all major classification societies
• Greatly reduces inspection time and costs
• Echo strength indicator to aid measurement.

With multiple echo, readings are taken by measuring the time delay between any three consecutive backwall echos. The time of T1 (coating thickness) is ignored. The times of T2 and T3 are equal to the time that it takes to travel through the metal. Only by looking at three echoes can the measurements be automatically verified (where T2 = T3).
