Thickness gauging is a fundamental process in many industries, with common methods including ultrasonic and X-ray techniques.
- Ultrasonic gauging measures thickness by placing the sensor in direct contact with the object.
- X-ray gauging, conversely, measures the attenuation of X-rays transmitted through the material, allowing for non-contact measurement.
The non-contact capability of X-ray gauging is critical for continuous production lines, such as those in steel, paper, and polymer film manufacturing. Furthermore, measuring the thickness of thin films--including plating and coating--requires specialized techniques like X-ray fluorescence (XRF), optical, electromagnetic, or eddy current methods, depending on the material and substrate.
