Object-Specific Layer Thickness Computed Tomography
Object-related layer thickness computed tomography is a specialized CT analysis technique for the precise determination of local wall thickness reductions and corrosion loss on complex-shaped hollow bodies. It enables accurate measurement of layer thicknesses in 3D.
Physicochemical mechanism of action
The technique uses X-rays to visualize density differences within a material. Computer analysis of the X-ray images allows layer thicknesses and corrosion sites to be displayed in 3D.
Metallurgical relevance & risks in welding
This technique is particularly useful for testing weld quality and detecting corrosion in complex components. Misinterpretations can lead to inaccurate results, posing risks in construction and mechanical engineering.
Workshop practice & instructions
Use this technique for precise testing of weld quality and corrosion. Make sure the device is correctly calibrated and the analysis parameters (such as voltage and time) are set. Document the results thoroughly.
