With regard to steel pipe thickness measurement and ultrasonic lamination detection system, detection technology and calibration method have a great impact on the detection accuracy. The paper discussed the impact of the probe wafer size to lamination detection firstly, and selected probe wafer of small sizes to detect the steel pipe lamination. With regard to the automatic ultrasonic steel pipe thickness measurement technology, spiral forward of steel pipe and array scanning of proper wafer were adopted to fully cover pipe for thickness and lamination detection. A device whose detection tank drives the probe for floating tracking was designed to improve the centering precision and stability of probe. Finally, an ultrasonic instrument calibration method based on least squares method was presented. By correcting the impact of steel pipe temperature and materials and other factors on acoustic velocity through slope and correcting system error through intercept, the pipe thickness error was controlled within 0.1 mm. The test has further validated the reliability of the calibration method.
