In this paper, the attempts of measuring the thickness of a steel operation pipe occurring in the salt cavern and its geometry using an ultrasonic probe in the stage of computer simulation and laboratory are presented. The pipe makes as an obstacle for ultrasonic waves. In order to resolve this task, we need to determine the thickness of the pipe and choose the appropriate resonant ultrasonic wave. Determination of the thickness of the industrial steel pipes was carried out using the resonant frequency of reflected ultrasound waves and the relationship coefficients. The thicknesses of the industrial pipes measured by the resonant ultrasound wave method are in good agreement with those measured using an electronic caliper. Measurements of the cavern geometry with presence of the operation pipe using the resonant frequency of ultrasonic wave were well verified in a physical model and will be able in application to determine the real salt caverns.

本文介绍了在计算机模拟和实验室阶段利用超声波探头测量盐穴钢作业管厚度及其几何形状的尝试。该管道成为超声波的障碍。为了解决这个任务，我们需要确定管道的厚度并选择合适的谐振超声波。利用反射超声波的共振频率和相关系数来测定工业钢管的厚度。谐振超声波法测量的工业管道壁厚与电子卡尺测量的壁厚吻合较好。使用超声波谐振频率对存在操作管道的洞穴几何形状进行的测量在物理模型中得到了很好的验证，并且能够在应用中确定真正的盐洞。
