Ultrasonic Testing Thickness Measurement Course in Cambridge
TWI Training is now delivering an Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – Thickness Measurement course in Cambridge (1–5 June 2026), supporting personnel looking to develop practical ultrasonic inspection knowledge and thickness measurement capability within industrial environments.
Designed for individuals working across the inspection, quality assurance, manufacturing, and engineering sectors, the course provides a structured introduction to the principles and practical application of ultrasonic
This course helps in building practical ultrasonic testing knowledge. Ultrasonic Testing is being widely used across industry to assess material condition, identify discontinuities, and measure material thickness without causing damage to the component being examined.
The course covers the core principles of sound generation and detection, the behaviour of sound within materials, and the use of ultrasonic equipment for inspection activities. Practical exercises using flaw detectors and zero-degree probes form a key part of the training delivery.
Key learning areas include:
- Principles of ultrasonic sound generation and detection
- Behaviour of sound in different materials
- Calibration and operation of ultrasonic equipment
- Thickness measurement techniques for steel plates
- Detection and evaluation of laminations and defects
- Inspection exercises using simulated flaw specimens
Supporting Inspection and Integrity Applications
Ultrasonic thickness measurement plays an important role in integrity assessment and condition monitoring across sectors including manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and fabrication. By enabling inspectors and technicians to assess material thickness and identify internal discontinuities, ultrasonic testing supports maintenance planning, quality assurance, and safe operational performance in critical engineering environments.
Through this course we deliver industry-focused training at TWI’s Cambridge facilities, it combines classroom-based learning with hands-on practical application to support both theoretical understanding and operational confidence.
The programme is aligned with PCN certification requirements and ISO 20807, providing candidates with relevant technical grounding for ultrasonic thickness measurement activities within industry.
