Therefore, a device capable of accurately and quickly measuring plate thickness is needed to ensure the quality and safety of shipbuilding. With the development of technology, plate thickness measuring devices for ship design have also been continuously evolving, from the initial simple mechanical measuring tools to today's intelligent and automated measuring devices. Technological advancements have made measurements more accurate and efficient.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plate thickness measuring device for ship design, comprising a tripod and a fixing sleeve.
