THEORY AND APPLICATION OF PRECISION ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAGING
Kenneth A. Fowler, Gerry M. Elfbaum, and Thomas J. Nelligan
Ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) – a method of characterizing material thickness, integrity, or other
physical properties by means of high frequency sound waves -- is a widely used technique for product testing and
quality control. In thickness gaging applications, ultrasonic techniques permit quick and reliable measurement of
thickness without requiring access to both sides of a part. Calibrated accuracies as high as ±2 micrometers or
±0.0001 inch are achievable in some applications. Most engineering materials can be measured ultrasonically,
including metals, plastic, ceramics, composites, epoxies, and glass, as well as liquid levels and the thickness of
certain biological specimens. Online or in-process measurement of extruded plastics or rolled metal is often
possible, as is measurement of individual layers or coatings over substrates in multilayer materials. Modern hand-
held digital gages are simple to use and highly reliable.
Commercial ultrasonic thickness gages are generally divided into two types: corrosion gages and precision gages.
Corrosion gages are specifically designed for measuring the remaining wall thickness of metal pipes, tanks,
structural parts, and pressure vessels that are subject to internal corrosion that cannot be seen from the outside.
They employ signal processing techniques that are optimized for detecting the minimum remaining thickness in a
rough, corroded test piece, and they use specialized dual element transducers for this purpose. Corrosion gagesare outside the scope of this paper. The precision gages discussed here use single element transducers and are
recommended for all other applications (including smooth metal). With many different types of transducers
available, precision gages are extremely versatile and can measure to higher accuracy than corrosion gages.
1. Measurement Principles
Precision ultrasonic thickness gages usually operate at frequencies between 500 KHz and 20 MHz, using
broadband, well damped piezoelectric transducers that when excited by electrical pulses generate bursts of sound
waves, and in receiving mode convert sound waves back into electrical pulses. A wide variety of transducers with
various acoustic characteristics have been developed to meet the needs of diverse industrial applications.
Typically, lower frequencies will be used to optimize penetration when measuring thick, highly attenuating, or
highly scattering materials, while higher frequencies will be recommended to optimize resolution in thinner, non-
attenuating, non-scattering materials. A broadband design is typically used for precision thickness gaging
applications to that maximize near surface resolution.
A pulse-echo ultrasonic thickness gage determines the thickness of a part or structure by accurately measuring
the time required for the short ultrasonic pulse generated by a transducer to travel through the thickness of the
material, reflect from the back or inside surface, and return to the transducer. In most applications this time
interval is only a few microseconds or less. The measured round trip transit time is divided by two to account for
the down-and-back travel path, and then multiplied by the velocity of sound in the test material. The result isexpressed in the well-known relationship:
d =
Where,
d = the thickness of the test piece
V = the velocity of sound waves in the material
t = the measured round-t rip transit time
Additionally, in actual practice, a zero offset is usually subtracted from the measured time interval to account for
certain fixed electronic and mechanical delays. In the common case of measurements involving direct contact
transducers, the zero offset compensates for the transit time of the sound pulse through the transducer's
8/18/2019 Theory and Application of Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging

wearplate and the couplant layer, as well as any electronic switching time or cable delays. This zero offset is set as
part of instrument calibration procedures and is necessary for highest accuracy and linearity.
Figure 1 – Typical Gage Block Diagram
Figure 1 represents a block diagram of a typical ultrasonic thickness gage. The pulser, under the control of the
microprocessor, provides a broadband spike or tuned square wave voltage impulse to the transducer, generating
the outgoing ultrasonic wave. Echoes returned from the test piece are received by the transducer and converted
back into electrical signals, which in turn are fed into the receiver amplifier and then digitized. The
microprocessor-based control and timing logic both synchronizes the pulser and selects the appropriate echoes
that will be used for the time interval measurement. Automatic gain control is commonly utilized to normalize
echo amplitude.
If echoes are detected, the timing circuit will precisely measure a time interval in one of the modes discussed in
the next section of this paper, and then typically repeat this process several times to obtain an averaged reading.
The microprocessor then uses this time interval measurement along with programmed sound velocity and zero
offset values to calculate thickness. Finally, the thickness is displayed and updated at a selected rate.
Many gages incorporate an internal datalogger and are capable of storing several thousand thickness
measurements along with identification codes and setup information in memory. These stored readings may be
recalled to the gage's display or uploaded to a printer or computer for further analysis or archiving.
2. Measurement Modes and Transducer Selection for Precision Gaging
The methods of making ultrasonic measurements of thickness may be classified according to the type of
transducer used to make the measurement, or they may be classified by the choice of echoes used to determine
the ultrasonic pulse transit time through the test piece. If we classify the measurement method by transducer type,
we find three basic classifications used in precision thickness gaging:
1. Contact Transducers: As the name implies, contact transducers are used in direct contact with the test piece. A
thin, hard wearplate protects the active element from damage in normal use. Measurements with contact

precision thickness gaging applications because of the possibility of zero drift and timing errors related to V-path
correction.
* Thickness ranges assume a sound velocity of approximately 5.9 mm/µS or .23 in/µS and further assume that maximum range is not
limited by scattering or sound attenuation in the material.
Figure 2 – Precision ultrasonic gaging techniques classified by the echoes used to make the measurements
3. Factors Affecting Performance and Accuracy The selection of the appropriate transducer for a given application is based on the range and resolution of the
thickness measurement required, the acoustic properties of the test material(s), and part geometry. In many cases
this is best established by experimentation with test standards representing the desired range of measurement. In
general, the highest frequency and smallest diameter transducers that will give acceptable results over the
required range would be recommended. Small diameter transducers are more easily coupled to the test material
and permit the thinnest couplant layer at a given contact pressure. Furthermore, higher frequency transducers
produce echoes of faster rise time and thereby enhance the precision of thickness measurements. On the other
hand, the acoustic properties or surface condition of the test material may require large, low frequency
transducers to overcome poor coupling or signal losses due to scattering or attenuation. Selection of the
optimum transducer in some cases will require compromising penetration for the sake of thin material resolution,
or vice versa. In some cases two or more transducers will be required to cover a required range of measurement
in its entirety.
There are a number of important factors that will affect performance and accuracy in common gaging
applications.
a) Calibration: The accuracy of any ultrasonic measurement is only as good as the accuracy and care with which
the gage has been calibrated. All ultrasonic gages provide a method for calibrating sound velocity and zero offset
appropriate for the application at hand. It is essential that this calibration be performed and periodically verified in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Sound velocity must always be set with respect to the material
8/18/2019 Theory and Application of Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/theory-and-application-of-precision-ultrasonic-thickness-gaging 5/13
being measured. Zero offset is usually related to the type of transducer, transducer cable length and mode of
measurement being used.
b) Surface roughness of the test piece: The best measurement accuracy is obtained when both the front and back
surfaces of the test piece are smooth and parallel. If the contact surface is rough, the minimum thickness that can
be measured may be increased because of sound reverberating in the increased thickness of the couplant layer.
There will also be potential inaccuracy caused by variations in the thickness of the couplant layer beneath thetransducer. Additionally, if either surface of the test piece is rough, the returning echo may be distorted due to the
multiplicity of slightly different sound paths seen by the transducer, and some degree of measurement uncertainly
will result.
c) Coupling technique: In Mode 1 direct contact measurements, the couplant layer thickness is part of the
measurement and is compensated by a portion of the calibrated zero offset. If maximum accuracy is to be
achieved, the coupling technique must be consistent. This is accomplished by using a couplant of reasonably low
viscosity, employing only enough couplant to achieve a reasonable reading, and applying the transducer with
uniform pressure. A little practice will show the degree of moderate to firm pressure that produces repeatablereadings. In general, smaller diameter transducers require less coupling force to squeeze out the excess couplant
than larger diameter transducers. In all modes, tilting the transducer will distort echoes and cause inaccurate
readings, as noted below.
d) Curvature of the test piece: A related issue involves the alignment of the transducer with respect to the test
piece. When measuring on curved surfaces, it is important that the transducer be placed approximately on the
centerline of the part and held as nearly normal to the surface as possible. In some cases a spring-loaded V-block
holder may be helpful for maintaining this alignment. In general, as the radius of curvature decreases, the size of
the transducer should be reduced, and the more critical transducer alignment will become. For very small
radiuses, an immersion approach will be necessary. In some cases it will be useful to observe a waveform display
as an aid in maintaining optimum alignment. Often practice with the aid of a waveform display will give the
operator a proper "feel" for the best way to hold the transducer.
On curved surfaces it is important to use only enough couplant to obtain a reading. Excess couplant will form a
fillet between the edges of the transducer and the radiused test surface where sound will reverberate and possibly
create spurious signals that may trigger false readings.
(e) Taper or eccentricity: If the contact surface and back surface of the test piece are tapered or eccentric with
respect to each other, the return echo will be distorted due to the variation in sound path across the width of the
beam. Accuracy of measurement will be reduced. If the misalignment between outer and inner surfaces is
significant, no measurement will be possible.
(f) Acoustic properties of the test material: There are several conditions found in certain engineering materials that
can potentially limit the accuracy and range of ultrasonic thickness measurements:
Sound Scattering -- In materials such as cast stainless steel, cast iron, fiberglass, and composites, sound energy
will be scattered from individual grains in the casting or from fiber/matrix boundaries within the fiberglass or
composite. Porosity in any material can have the same effect. Gage sensitivity must be adjusted to prevent
8/18/2019 Theory and Application of Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/theory-and-application-of-precision-ultrasonic-thickness-gaging 6/13
detection of these spurious scatter echoes. This compensation can in turn limit the ability to discriminate a valid
but small return echo from the back side of the material, thereby restricting measurement range.
Sound Attenuation or Absorption -- In certain polymers such as low density plastics, polyurethane, and rubber,
sound energy can be attenuated very rapidly at the frequencies used for ultrasonic gaging. This attenuation
typically increases with temperature. The maximum thickness that can be measured in these materials will often be
limited by attenuation.
Velocity Variations -- An ultrasonic thickness measurement will be accurate only to the degree that material sound
velocity is consistent with gage calibration. Some materials exhibit significant variations in sound velocity from
point to point. This happens in certain cast metals due to the changes in grain structure that result from varied
cooling rates, and the anisotropy of sound velocity with respect to grain structure. Fiberglass can show localized
velocity variations due to changes in resin/fiber ratio. Many plastics and rubbers show a rapid change in sound
velocity with temperature, requiring that velocity calibration be performed at the temperature where
measurements are to be made.
(g) Phase Reversal or Phase Distortion -- The phase or polarity of a returning echo is determined by the relativeacoustic impedances (density x velocity) of the boundary materials. Commercial gages typically assume the
customary situation where the test piece is backed by air or a liquid, both of which have lower acoustic
impedances than metals, ceramics, or plastics. However, in some specialized cases (such as measurement of glass
or plastic liners over metal, or copper cladding over steel) this impedance relationship is reversed, and the echo
appears phase reversed. To maintain accuracy in these cases it is necessary to change the appropriate echo
detection polarity.
A more complex situation can occur in anisotropic or inhomogeneous materials such as coarse-grain metal
castings or certain composites, where material conditions result in the existence of multiple sound paths within the
beam area. In these cases phase distortion can create an echo that is neither cleanly positive nor negative. Careful
experimentation with reference standards is necessary in these cases to determine effects on measurement
accuracy. If the effect is consistent it will usually be possible to compensate by means of a zero offset adjustment,
but if echo shape is variable, highly accurate thickness measurements will not be possible.
4. Couplants
A wide variety of couplant materials may be used in ultrasonic gaging. Propylene glycol and glycerin are
commonly used and are suitable for most applications. In applications where maximum transfer of sound energy
is required, as with very thick or attenuating materials, glycerin is recommended. However, on some metals
glycerin can promote corrosion by means of water absorption and thus may be undesirable. Other suitable
couplants for measurements at normal temperatures may include water, various oils and greases, gels, and
silicone fluids.
In some applications involving smooth surfaces, it is possible to substitute in place of liquid couplant a thin
compliant membrane (such as a thin piece of polyurethane) between the face of the transducer or delay line and
the test piece. This approach will often require changes to gage setup parameters and requires that the
transducer be pressed firmly to the surface of the test piece.
As noted below, measurements at elevated temperatures will require specially formulated high temperature
couplants.

5. High Temperature Measurements
Measurements at elevated temperatures (higher than approximately 50° Celsius or 125° Fahrenheit) represent a
special category. First, it is important to note that standard direct contact transducers will be damaged or
destroyed by exposure to temperatures higher than this limit. This is due to the varying thermal expansion
coefficients of the materials used to construct them, which will cause disbonding at elevated temperatures. Direct
contact transducers should never be used on a surface that is too hot to comfortably touch with bare fingers.
Thus, high temperature measurements should always be done in Mode 2 or Mode 3 with either a delay linetransducer (with an appropriate high temperature delay line) or an immersion transducer.
Sound velocity in all materials changes with temperature, normally increasing as the material gets colder and
decreasing as it gets hotter, with abrupt changes near the freezing or melting points. This effect is much greater in
plastics and rubber than it is in metals or ceramics. Velocity changes are related to changes in elastic modulus and
density, and depending on the material and temperature range the relationship can be significantly non-linear.
For maximum accuracy, the gage sound velocity setting should be calibrated at the same temperature where
measurements will be made. Measurement of hot materials with a gage set to room temperature sound velocity
will often lead to significant error.
Finally, at temperatures greater than approximately 100° C or 200° F, special high temperature couplants are
recommended. A variety of them are available from commercial sources.
6. On-Line Measurements
Continuous on-line ultrasonic thickness gaging can be performed on most engineering materials, providing a
constant process monitor, and is particularly appropriate for extruded plastics and metal sheets and pipes. It is
usually done by coupling the sound energy into the test piece through a water column generated by a bubbler or
squirter, or in a water bath. Measurement is normally performed in Mode 2 or 3, although in a few special cases
sliding direct contact transducers working in Mode 1 have been employed. For accurate on-line ultrasonic
measurement, material temperature must be stable to avoid errors due to velocity variations. Surfaces must be
smooth enough to insure consistent coupling, and some type of fixturing is always required to maintain precise
alignment between the transducer(s) and test piece.
7. Cable Length
Certain specialized applications such as underwater testing require a long cable between the transducer and
ultrasonic gage. While much of this work involves corrosion gaging and is therefore outside the scope of this
paper, some precision gaging applications require long cables as well. The length of cable that produces a
significant effect on performance is application specific, depending on transducer frequency as well as accuracy
and minimum measurement range requirements. At 20 MHz, cable reflections will begin to affect waveform shape
at lengths beyond about 1 meter or 3 feet. At lower frequencies, somewhat longer cables can be used without any
special considerations. However, performance with long cables should always be experimentally evaluated in light
of specific application requirements, particularly when cable length exceeds approximately 3 meters or 10 feet. In
Mode 1measurements, cable reflections can increase the length of the excitation pulse and limit minimum
measurable thickness, and zero offset must be adjusted to compensate for the propagation time of electrical
pulses through the cable. In Modes 2 and 3, cable reflections can cause distortion of interface and backwall
echoes, and in extreme cases (cables on the order of 30 meters/100 feet or greater) they can even result in large
spurious signals following desirable signals at an interval equal to the electrical transit time in the cable.

8. Further Notes on Modes of Measurement
Mode 1: Excitation Pulse to First Back Echo
Ultrasonic thickness measurements utilizing direct contact transducers in Mode 1 are often the simplest to
implement and can be used in the majority of common applications. For most materials the contact method of
measurement provides the highest coupling efficiency of ultrasound from the transducer into the test piece. Mode
1 contact measurements are commonly recommended when minimum material thickness does not fall below
approximately 0.25 mm (0.010 inches) of plastic or 0.5 mm (0.020 inches) of metal, precision required is not better
than +/-25 micrometers (0.001 inch), test material is at or close to room temperature, and geometry permits
contact coupling.
In this mode of measurement, the time interval between the excitation pulse and the first returned echo includes a
small time increment representing pulse transit time through the transducer wearplate and the coupling fluid, as
well as cable delay and any offset due to rise time or frequency content of the detected echo. In order to
compensate for these factors, gages are provided with a zero offset function, which effectively subtracts from the
total measured time interval a period equivalent to the sum of these various fixed delays. Zero offset normally
must be adjusted whenever the transducer type is changed. This may be done with the aid of a reference
standard of known thickness and sound velocity, or, if velocity is unknown, two standards of different known
thicknesses which can be used to establish both velocity and zero.
Mode 2: Interface Echo to First Backwall Echo
Measurements between the first two echoes following the excitation pulse are categorized as Mode 2. Normally
this involves measurement from an interface echo (representing the boundary between a delay line or water path
and the outside surface of the test piece) and a backwall echo representing the inside surface.
There are several conditions that must be considered in making Mode 2 measurements, based on the fact that
they require two valid echoes, interface and backwall. First, it is necessary to insure that an interface echo exists.
8/18/2019 Theory and Application of Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/theory-and-application-of-precision-ultrasonic-thickness-gaging 9/13
There are certain cases involving immersion measurements of low impedance materials such as soft plastics and
silicones where the acoustic impedance of the test material is very similar to that of water. A similar situation can
occur when a delay line transducer is used on a material (typically a polymer) whose impedance nearly matches
that of the delay line. In such cases the impedance match between the water or delay line and the test material
may reduce the interface echo to such low amplitude that it cannot reliably be detected. With delay line
transducers the difficulty can usually be remedied by switching to a different delay line material, for example from
the common polystyrene delays to an epoxy or polyimide. When the problem occurs in immersionmeasurements, there may be no easy solution, since it is rarely possible to use liquids other than water as effective
immersion couplants.
The maximum thickness that can be measured in a Mode 2 setup is determined by the length of the delay line or
water path, since the backwall echo from the test piece must arrive before multiples of the interface echo. In some
cases range can be extended by lengthening the delay line or water path, however Mode 2 is generally not well
suited for measurement of thick materials.
When working in Mode 2 it is also necessary to monitor the phase or polarity of both interface and backwall
echoes, and adjust instrument detection polarity and/or zero offset to compensate as necessary for inversions. A
plastic delay line coupled to a metal test piece represents a low-to-high impedance boundary, seen as a positive
interface echo, while the same delay line coupled to many polymer materials can represent a high-to-low
relationship of relative acoustic impedance representing a negative interface echo. The interface echo polarity
reverses between these two situations, and if the gage is not properly adjusted a measurement error will result.
This can happen when a gage with a delay line transducer is set up on metal reference blocks and then used to
measure plastics. Additionally, a rough metal surface may create a negative interface echo due to the couplant
gap under the transducer, while high impedance plastics can produce a positive interface. By observing the
echoes an operator can select the correct detection polarity in a given case. Figure 3 shows some examples of
commonly encountered conditions.
Interface and backwall echo phase distortions can also occur in setups involving sharply radiused material, where
complex interactions between beam shape and front and back surface curvature can significantly affect echo
8/18/2019 Theory and Application of Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/theory-and-application-of-precision-ultrasonic-thickness-gaging 10/13
shape. In such applications it is essential to set up the instrument on reference standards representing the actual
material shape to be measured, so that the effects of any phase distortion can be compensated with zero offset.
Figure 3 – Echo polarities in Mode 2 measurements
Mode 3: Echo to Echo Following Interface
The Mode 3 measurement technique as defined here involves the measurement of a time interval between
successive back echoes following an interface echo. This mode is normally reserved for situations where the testmaterial is relatively thin, and where the highest level of accuracy is required. Mode 3 measurement is best
applied to low attenuation engineering materials having an acoustic impedance greater than 1 x 106 gm/cm2-sec
(which includes most metals, ceramics, and glass). In materials of this type, successive reverberations are all of the
same polarity, and the relative amplitude of successive echoes is determined by the transmission coefficient of the
sound energy out of the material into either polystyrene or water. Since both of these materials are of relatively
low acoustic impedance, the ratio of successive echo signal amplitudes is usually greater than 50% or -6dB.
For most applications, a delay line transducer will be more convenient than immersion in Mode 3 measurements.
Delay line transducers can be used to make measurements over a range from approximately 0.15 mm/0.006" up
to 12.5mm/0.5", depending on frequency and delay line length. As with direct contact transducer measurements,
the diameter or active element size of the delay line should be reduced as the radius of curvature is reduced. For
radiuses smaller than approximately 3mm/0.125", immersion transducers will provide better coupling and are
preferred.
8/18/2019 Theory and Application of Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gaging
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/theory-and-application-of-precision-ultrasonic-thickness-gaging 11/13
The maximum thickness that can be measured in a Mode 3 setup is determined by the length of the delay line or
water path, since two backwall echoes from the test piece must arrive before multiples of the interface echo. In
some cases range can be extended by lengthening the delay line or water path, however Mode 3 is not well
suited for measurement of thick materials.
If accurate thickness measurements are required on machined surfaces having a surface finish of approximately 3
microns RMS, Mode 3 measurements utilizing a delay line transducer will often give more repeatable readings
than a Mode 1direct contact transducer. This is due to the fact that successive echo reverberations tend to
subtract out the variable thickness of the couplant layer that adds to the time interval measured using a direct
contact transducer. The same general principle applies to painted surfaces, where multiple echoes will represent
reverberations in the metal or other high-impedance material, not the paint. However, there are limitations on
what sort of surfaces will permit Mode 3 measurement, and in the case of severe roughness or corrosion this
technique will not be applicable. At least two clean backwall echoes are required for a Mode 3 measurement, and
as conditions get worse the signal losses due to roughness will eventually obliterate the second echo.
When using focused immersion transducers for Mode 3 measurements, and/or when measuring certain radiuses,
it is always necessary to observe the waveform during initial setup. The advantage of focused as opposed tounfocused immersion transducers of the same frequency and size is that they often tolerate more beam
angulation or misalignment, as well as improve coupling into radiused test pieces. Spurious or unwanted signals
may appear and, unless electronically blanked, lead to inaccurate measurements.
Two possible situations are illustrated in Figure 4. Figure 4a shows optimum echoes for Mode 3 measurement, a
series of clean multiple echoes.
4a. Proper measurement of clean echoes
In Figure 4b the time interval measurement is being erroneously made between the first and second cycle of the
first backwall echo. This condition can exist whenever echoes are ambiguously shaped, which can be due both to
misalignment and improper focusing. Figure 4c illustrates and erroneous time measurement between the first
backwall echo and a mode converted shear echo which can result when a focused immersion transducer is used
and the water path between the transducer and the surface of the test piece is too long.
In order to obtain clean multiple echoes for thickness measurement, a focused immersion transducer would
ideally be operated short of the focal length. If it is operated at or near the focal length, intermediate shear mode
echoes will usually occur. (Note that this is a problem only in Mode 3 measurements; in Mode 2 nothing following

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/theory-and-application-of-precision-ultrasonic-thickness-gaging 12/13
the first backwall echo is of interest.) Similar effects can occur in some cases where sharply radiused targets cause
refraction and/or mode conversion of beam components arriving at other than normal incidence. In general, it is
often advisable to experiment with different combinations of focus and water path to determine what produces
the cleanest multiple echoes in a given measurement application.

Figure 4 – Examples of Mode 3 Waveforms
Appendix 1 summarizes some typical applications where these measurement modes are applied. Please note that
the thickness range, accuracy, and transducer recommendations are intended only as a general guide. Because of
possible variations in material acoustic properties and the effects of geometry, the exact range and accuracy in a
given application should always be verified with the aid of reference standards of the material in question. In
some cases measurement will be possible over greater ranges than indicated in the table, and in other cases less.
And although transducer recommendations are shown, it will often be possible to use two or more different
transducers with essentially equivalent results over a specified range.

always depend on instrument setup as well as specific material properties such as part geometry, surface
condition, and microstructure. The maximum thickness in plastics in Mode 1 measurements will vary depending on
the type of plastic, so only a minimum is listed. These charts cover only some of the most common transducersand measurement situations. There are many other possibilities.
