WALL THICKNESS ANALYSES
Determination of material thickness
Wall thickness is one of many metrological challenges which must be addressed by industrial designers. Most of the industrial components, including pipes, bottles, medical pills, airfoils, and turbines blades are specified by wall thicknesses to ensure the expected mechanical strength and weight.
Measuring the material thickness on a 3D volume generated by a CT scan is straightforward. Results are displayed using a colour code, showing areas where the thickness exceeds the given tolerances and providing minimum, maximum, mean or standard deviation.
The wall thickness analysis completes the characterization of samples, providing an easy-to-read 3D colour map and cross-section wall thickness measurements.
