Le présent document prescrit les méthodes et les critères d'acceptation permettant d'évaluer la performance des instruments de mesure de l'épaisseur par réflexion des ultrasons. Il traite à la fois des instruments à lecture directe (numérique) et des instruments à affichage analogique de forme d'onde utilisant des traducteurs simples ou des traducteurs émetteurs-récepteurs. Le présent document peut être utilisé pour vérifier les instruments traités dans les EN 12668-1 EN 12668-2 et EN 12668-3 lorsqu'ils sont utilisés pour la mesure de l'épaisseur.
