Ultrasonic Aluminium Thickness Measurement

Aluminium and its alloys (2000, 6000, 7000 series) are strategic materials for the aerospace, automotive and transport industries. Ultrasonic thickness measurement on aluminium is particularly accurate thanks to the low attenuation of the material, but it requires dedicated probes and precise calibration when working on thin walls (sheets, skins, composite panels).

This section gathers practical guides and application cases for ultrasonic measurement on aluminium, focusing on sectors where measurement accuracy is critical (aerospace, motorsport).
Dakota instruments for aluminium and light alloys

Dakota PMX2-DL / PMX3-DL — universal precision gauges, the standard for aluminium applications.
Dakota PCX8-DL — PTG precision gauge for thin thicknesses.
Dakota PZX1-DL — precision gauge for thin substrates.
