Neither is visible until it becomes severe, and the paint that protects the plate is also what prevents you from seeing it. The periodic surveys required by the classification societies are therefore based on extensive thickness measurement campaigns, on grids of points defined in advance and repeated at every survey.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical constraint is that those measurements have to be taken over the paint: blasting in order to measure means destroying the protection precisely where it is needed. A thickness gauge with <strong>Echo-Echo<\/strong> mode solves the problem at its root, because it measures the distance between two echoes inside the metal and the paint layer stays out of the count. On top of this comes the sheer volume of data: a campaign on a ship produces thousands of readings that must remain associated with the point at which they were taken.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light popmake-4066 popmake-739\" style=\"border-width:1px;min-height:250px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"250\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-727 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=1200%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=300%2C63&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=1024%2C213&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=768%2C160&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-30 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#d3d6dc\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-cover-is-layout-15701bb7 wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-ti-fg-color is-style-default has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(21.536px, 1.346rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.374), 35px);\"><strong>Need help choosing the right product?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b507c051 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button popmake-4066 popmake-739\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ti-accent-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On offshore structures the structural component is added: welded nodes, jackets, tie rods and bolted joints subject to cyclic loads.

By measuring between two echoes inside the metal, the coating is excluded from the result and there is no need to remove it. In Pulse-Echo mode only, by contrast, the paint would be counted as metal thickness and the reading would come out higher than the real one.  <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757821002000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How many measurement points can an instrument archive?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on the model. The CX8-DL archives 100,000 readings in 1,000 batches, while the MX1-DL and MX2-DL have a 4 GB data logger with grid files up to 999 \u00d7 52 and over 225,000 readings.  For a campaign on a ship it is worth going for the models with grid files, because they maintain the correspondence between reading and grid point.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757821003000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is there a Dakota instrument for underwater measurements?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Measurements on submerged structures require a specific configuration of instrument, probe and cable, which depends on the depth and on the operating method. There is no answer valid in general: contact us describing the job and we will confirm what can be achieved with the available range. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757821004000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the B-Scan for in a marine inspection?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The B-Scan shows the profile of the wall along the path of the probe, instead of a single point value. On irregularly corroded plate it makes it possible to see the pattern of the thinning and to locate the deepest pit, which a point-by-point measurement can easily miss. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a measurement campaign on a vessel or an offshore structure, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/en\/contact\/\">write to us<\/a> stating the type of structure, the presence of a coating and the number of points expected.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further information and contacts <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roder.it\">Systems division and sensor integration partner : www.roder.it<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/chi-siamo\/\">More information about RODER SRL : about us<\/a><br\/>Contact for general information : <a href=\"mailto:info@roder.it\">info@roder.it<\/a><br\/>Contact for information about these products : <a href=\"mailto:info@roder.it\">info@roder.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The information contained on this web page is provided for information purposes only.
