It is a decisive distinction: surface rust on an intact section is a maintenance matter, whereas the same rust on a web already reduced by twenty per cent is a structural matter. Without a measurement, the two situations look alike.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ultrasonic thickness gauge closes this gap: it provides the actual remaining value, point by point, and allows the designer to redo the section check on real numbers instead of a conservative assumption. Since almost every steel structure is painted, the function required is the same as in the previous sectors: the <strong>Echo-Echo<\/strong> mode, which measures the metal while excluding the coating. <\/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 road structures two specific checks are added: the testing of welds at structural nodes, which requires a flaw detector and a qualified operator, and the control of tension in tie rods and large-diameter bolted systems.

id=\"faq-question-1757827001000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can a beam be measured without removing the paint?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, with an instrument featuring Echo-Echo mode, which measures between two echoes inside the metal and excludes the coating layer. This is the normal condition in checks on existing structures, where removing the protection would mean having to restore it at every measured point. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757827002000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is ultrasonic measurement enough for the structural check?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It provides the remaining thickness figure, which is one of the inputs to the calculation, not the calculation itself. The section check, the safety assessment and the design conclusions remain the responsibility of the appointed engineer; the instrument serves to replace a conservative assumption with a measured value. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757827003000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How is a buried pipeline measured?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Only where the wall is physically accessible: the probe must rest on the metal, so work is carried out at inspection chambers, valve chambers, exposed lengths or inspection excavations. On buried lengths that cannot be reached, contact ultrasonic measurement is not applicable. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757827004000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is a certified operator needed for a thickness survey on a structure?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on the standing the survey has to have. For data collection supporting a technical assessment the instrument is used without formal certification; when the outcome feeds into an acceptance test or a standardised NDT inspection, particularly on welds, personnel qualified to EN ISO 9712 are required. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a survey on an existing structure or a campaign on a water network, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/en\/contact\/\">write to us<\/a> indicating the type of structure, the condition of the coating and the purpose of the inspection.<\/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.
