Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM)

We are a global leader in providing class certified thickness measurement services, along with a range of other services that have been approved by all major classification societies like ABS,BV, LR Class, DNV & RINA.
Special Survey / Renewal Survey
A special or renewal survey of a ship is mandatory every 5 years. It includes extensive examinations to verify that the structure, main and essential auxiliary machinery, systems and equipment of the ship are in a condition which satisfies the relevant class rules. The examinations of the hull are generally supplemented by Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements (UTM). Triton NDT is certified by all major classification societies to carry out UTM for special / renewal surveys.
CAP & CAS Survey
Most classification societies have a specialized Condition Assessment Program (CAP) for vessel types such as oil tankers, chemical tankers and bulk carriers. Under such a program, detailed assessment of a ship's condition is carried out to determine its operational reliability.
CAP Hull surveys include a substantial scope of Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements (UTM). Triton NDT is highly experienced in carrying out UTM as part of major class society Condition Assessment Programs. As with other surveys, we can enter the results of the inspection directly in the class society software.
In Addition we can do the following surveys:
