Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic thickness gage which can discriminate an echo on the outside surface of a pipe from a noise in the thickness measurement of a locally thin part in which the reflection energy of an ultrasonic reflection echo is dropped extremely. SOLUTION: In a thickness gage, an inhibit gate is utilized effectively in order to discriminate a noise N from received (echo) signals S, B on the basis of a measured waveform. In the noise generation region of the measured waveform, a multistage level-shaped inhibit gate which can adjust the rise position, the threshold height L and the threshold width W of the inhibit gate is installed so as to match the shape of the noise N. Then, the thickness gage is constituted so as to be capable of performing a measurement by disregarding a noise signal inside the inhibit gate, a gate threshold level in a region outside the noise generation region is lowered, the threshold level is lowered preferably down to a part near a base line on a measured waveform screen, and the multistage level-shaped inhibit gate is formed.
