2. Intrinsic thickness
The methods described are all non-destructive.
In this text, the term "intrinsic thickness" refers to a product dimension: the thickness of a sheet, a wall or a tube.
2.1 Geometric methods
They are mentioned here for the record, as their use implies accessibility to all sides of the product to be measured.
In industrial metrology, in addition to traditional calipers and micrometers, the use of three-dimensional machines is now widespread, and the computerization of measurement processes has considerably reduced the human factor and associated errors.
These machines are particularly useful for dimensional characterization and thickness measurement...
