Zusammenfassung:	A device (10) and method for measuring the thickness of a cooling plate (12) are disclosed. The device is designed to fit inside a coolant channel (16) of the cooling plate and comprises a probe holder housing (26) having a front sensor side (30) and an opposite back side (32), in which an ultrasonic probe (28) is arranged. A flexible cord (60) is linked to the probe housing to assist the progression of the probe holder through the length of the coolant channel. The probe holder includes an expandable structure (41) configured to expand from a compact configuration to an expanded configuration, designed to bear against the inner surface (42) of said coolant channel (16) and bias the sensor side (30) of the sensor housing against the inner surface (42) of the coolant channel.
