Pulse-echo thickness gages with a digital readout are widely used for<br />

thickness measurement. Pulse-echo testing can measure such great<br />

thickness that it can determine the length of a steel reinforcing rod in a<br />

concrete structure, provided one end of the rod is accessible for contact by<br />

the search unit. Although pulse-echo testing is capable of measuring<br />

considerable thicknesses, near-field effects make the use of pulse-echo<br />

testing ineffective on very thin materials.
