Introduction
As the UAE’s infrastructure, industrial, and energy sectors continue to grow, the need for accurate and reliable thickness testing services becomes increasingly vital. Whether in oil & gas facilities, pipelines, high-rise structures, or pressure vessels, thickness testing helps assess material integrity, prevent failures, and ensure compliance with UAE authority requirements, including those from ADM, ADOSH, QCC, Civil Defense, ADNOC, and MOIAT.
We offer third-party, non-destructive thickness testing services accredited by ENAS (Emirates National Accreditation System) and compliant with ISO 17020 and ISO 17025 standards. Our expert technicians utilize calibrated ultrasonic equipment to deliver precise and actionable results for both new and existing assets across the Emirates.
Purpose of Thickness Testing
Thickness Testing (commonly ultrasonic thickness measurement – UTM) is used to evaluate the remaining wall thickness of a component or structure without causing damage. The primary objectives are:
- Corrosion Monitoring: Identify thinning caused by rust, erosion, or chemical exposure.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with inspection mandates set by ADNOC, MOIAT, and QCC.
- Preventive Maintenance: Detect potential failure points early to reduce downtime and safety hazards.
- Structural Integrity Verification: Evaluate if pipes, tanks, or steel structures still meet their original design specs.
- Documentation & Certification: Provide official test reports approved by municipalities, consultants, and industrial clients.
What is Thickness Testing?
Thickness Testing is a form of non-destructive testing (NDT) that uses ultrasonic sound waves to measure the wall thickness of metal, composite, or plastic materials. It is commonly applied on both coated and uncoated surfaces to:
- Assess internal corrosion and wall thinning in pipelines and tanks.
- Monitor the degradation of pressure vessels and boilers.
- Inspect structural steel in bridges, platforms, and offshore rigs.
- Comply with API, ASME, ASTM, and ISO inspection protocols.
