The measurement of wall thickness of metal from one side only, by the direct current conduction method / by J. G. Buchanan, F. W. Marsh and R. C. A. Thurston.: M38-1/36-1958E-PDF

"A direct-current conduction method is described for the measurement of wall thickness of metal from one side only. Essentially the method involves the measurement of the resistance of an area, roughly circular, by means of a 4-electrode array; an increase in the 'resistance' indicates a decrease in thickness, and vice versa"--Abstract.
