Tangential wall thickness

Measure pipe wall thickness from a tangential exposure, with magnification correction and an uncertainty.

  1. Open Measure and the Wall tab.
  2. Choose Draw wall line and draw a line across the pipe wall, from outside to the bore.
  3. Clearshot finds the outer and inner edges at the steepest rising and falling gradients, in the style of EN 16407-1, and gives the wall thickness with an uncertainty.
  4. Enter SDD and SOD in mm to correct for magnification.
  5. If an edge is in the wrong place, use Nudge outer or Nudge inner, or reset. Band (px) sets how wide a strip is averaged along the line.

The wall result can also feed the thickness used for indication limits and for the ISO 17636-2 requirement.
