line as a result of the complex motion of the tube manufacturing process. The LUT gauge is a non-contact laser- ultrasonic thickness gauge that combines the accuracy of ultrasonic thickness measurement with the flexibility of optical devices. In the LUT gauge, light is used to carry the signals and no contact is needed between the LUT gauge and the tube. Real-time wall thickness profile, temperature profile and length of tube are obtained for every unit produced. Unlike the radiation method, real wall thickness measurement is obtained at precise locations along the length of the tube. Measurement accuracy
