Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges and Testing Equipment
An ultrasonic thickness gauge uses high-frequency sound to measure wall thickness and corrosion in steel pipes, tanks and vessels from one side, without damaging them. Asia NDE supplies Baugh & Weedon ultrasonic thickness gauges, transducers and phased array probes across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. We serve oil and gas, petrochemical, aerospace and fabrication customers, with calibration and repair support from our Subang Jaya office. The Audit 106, 207, 500, 7000 and 9000 are all thickness gauges. Our transducers and phased array probes also suit the ultrasonic flaw detectors used for weld inspection.
What it’s used for
- Measuring remaining wall thickness and corrosion on pipes, tanks, vessels and ship hulls.
- Measuring through paint and coatings with echo-to-echo gauges such as the Audit 500 and Audit 9000.
- Weld inspection with angle beam ultrasonic transducers and phased array (PAUT) probes on an ultrasonic flaw detector.
- Mapping storage tank wall thickness with the CETA crawler, and automated immersion testing with Triton tanks.
- Checking bonded and composite structures with the BondCheck bond tester.

Frequently asked questions
What does an ultrasonic thickness gauge measure?
An ultrasonic thickness gauge measures the thickness of a material from one side. It times how long a sound pulse takes to travel through the material and back. It is mainly used to measure remaining wall thickness and corrosion in steel pipes, tanks and pressure vessels, and also works on other metals and many plastics.
Can an ultrasonic thickness gauge measure through paint or coatings?
Some can. Gauges with a multi-echo or echo-to-echo mode, such as the Audit 500, Audit 7000 and Audit 9000, measure the metal only and ignore paint or coatings. Simpler single-echo gauges include the coating in the reading, so the coating has to be removed or allowed for. Check the model before you buy.
Do you calibrate and repair ultrasonic gauges?
Yes. Asia NDE runs a manufacturer-approved calibration centre, with repair support in Malaysia, for the ultrasonic gauges and instruments we supply.
