Neither process shows until it is advanced, and the paint that protects the plate is also what prevents its condition being judged by eye. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The periodical surveys required by the classification societies are therefore based on extensive thickness measurements, on point grids laid down by the inspection plan. The practical constraint is that those measurements have to be taken <strong>without removing the protection<\/strong>: blasting every point would destroy the coating and mean restoring it. <strong>Echo-Echo ThruPaint\u2122<\/strong> mode settles the matter by measuring between two echoes inside the metal.  <\/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\">The second problem is the sheer volume of data.

Scan mode holds the lowest value met while the probe travels across the square: it is the way not to miss a localised hollow between one grid point and the next. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757835003000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How many points can a survey on a ship hold?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on the inspection plan and the size of the vessel, but several thousand readings are easily reached.
