Thickness gauging is a critical process in various industries. Two common methods are ultrasonic and X-ray measurement.
- Ultrasonic gauging: Measures thickness using a sensor in direct contact with the object.
- X-ray gauging: Measures the attenuation of X-rays transmitted through the material, enabling non-contact measurement.
The non-contact nature of X-ray gauging is essential for continuous production lines, including steel, paper, and polymer film manufacturing. Additionally, measuring the thickness of thin films--such as plating and coatings--often requires specialized techniques like X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), depending on the material and substrate.
