Abstract / scope

ISO 16831:2012 specifies methods and acceptance criteria for assessing the performance of instruments for measuring thickness using pulse-echo ultrasound.

ISO 16831:2012 covers both direct (digital) reading and waveform display types using single or dual element probes.

ISO 16831:2012 can be used for verifying equipment covered by EN 12668 when used for thickness measurement.
