Depends on the thickness of timber used , the higher the wall the thicker the timbers required.The type of gyproc (plasterboard) being used will also affect the finished thickness i.e 12.7mm or 9.5mm being the most common, if insulation is being put in again this will determine the timber sizes.
If wall needs fire rating metal studs would be used with two layers of gyproc with staggered joints , or you could use fireline board -again this would alter the finished thickness.
Hope this helps.

In the UK, internal walls are typically 4 inch plus plasterboard and finish, bringing it to 5 inches.

However, many people use 3x2 CLS for the stud work. This brings the finished wall to just under 4 inches. This is fine for en-suites and some intertior walls but i wouldn't rely on it for major walls such as beween dining/sitting, or between seperate bedrooms.

Cheap houses use the smaller size these days for all internal walls.

Are you enquiring about finding a wall thickness, or finding the studs in a cavity wall? Could you clarify your question? Wall thickness is a standard building code. And there are electronic stud finders on the market! You can purchase one in any hardware store. Have a good day!
