Non-Destructive Evaluation of Coating Thickness Using Water Immersion Ultrasonic Testing

The coating is applied to prevent corrosion on the surface of ships or marine structures, and the thickness of the coating affects its anti-corrosion effect. As a result, non-destructive testing (NDT) is required to measure coating thickness, and ultrasonic NDT is a convenient and quick way to measu...
