Abstract
A system and method measures the thickness of wear liners coupled to wear substrates of industrial equipment. The system includes at least one ultrasonic transducer wear sensor device coupled intermediate the wear liner and wear substrate and a data acquisition device configured to receive thickness data from the wear sensor device. The ultrasonic transducer wear sensor device is battery powered in one embodiment and passivated in an additional embodiment and powered through an interrogation signal.
