Zusammenfassung:	A device and method for measuring the thickness of a cooling plate are related. The device is designed to fit inside a coolant channel of the cooling plate and includes a probe holder housing having a front sensor side and an opposite back side, in which an ultrasonic probe is arranged. A flexible cord 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 having front and rear levers articulated on the housing at opposite ends wherein spring elements are arranged to bias the levers towards one another. The expandable structure is configured to expand from a compact configuration to an expanded configuration, designed to bear against the inner surface of the coolant channel and bias the sensor side of the sensor housing against the inner surface of the coolant channel.
