Ultrasonic thickness gauging is a critical method in non-destructive testing (NDT) for measuring the thickness of materials and assessing their integrity. Sonemat leverages electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) to provide advanced ultrasonic thickness gauging solutions that offer numerous advantages over conventional techniques. Our expertise and innovative products enable precise measurements, even in challenging conditions, making us a trusted partner in the industry.
The Power of EMAT Technology
At Sonemat, we specialize in using EMAT technology for ultrasonic thickness gauging, offering a range of bespoke solutions tailored to meet the needs of our clients. EMATs generate ultrasonic waves without direct contact with the material, providing several benefits, including the ability to inspect high-temperature surfaces and materials with rough or coated surfaces.
Advantages of EMATs in Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging
EMAT technology offers significant advantages over traditional piezoelectric transducers, particularly in demanding industrial applications:
- Non-Contact Inspection: EMATs do not require couplants, making them ideal for high-temperature and rough surface applications.
- Material Versatility: Effective on a wide range of materials, including ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals.
- Environmental Resilience: Capable of operating in harsh environments without degradation in performance.
