Thickness gauges (5)

Base line of ultrasonic thickness and corrosion measurement: ZX-1, CMX-DL, MVX and MX2-DL.

FX81-DL Flaw Detector and Thickness Gauge

SKU dakota-ndt-FX81-DL

The FX81-DL combines an ultrasonic flaw detector and thickness gauge in one unit, with data logging. Like the rest of the Dakota Ultrasonics line, it includes DakView software (Java, PC/Mac) to transfer, view and generate reports from saved readings, plus USB connectivity.

ZX-1 Corrosion Gauge

SKU dakota-ndt-ZX-1

The ZX-1 and ZX-2 are basic, fixed-velocity gauges that require no special training to operate. Calibration is done simply by stepping to a known material velocity or selecting a common material from a list of material types on the ZX-2. These gauges are built to withstand the toughest industry conditions, are affordably priced, and are backed by a 5-year limited warranty — a reliable choice for meeting or exceeding your application's expectations.

CMX-DL Thickness Gauge

SKU dakota-ndt-CMX-DL

The Dakota Ultrasonics CMX-DL v2.0 thickness gauge carries every CMX feature plus a large 4 GB storage capacity across multiple file structures and a screen-capture function for quick documentation in .tif format. It offers two file formats — sequential (with automatic IDs) or standard alphanumeric — for data reporting. The kit includes our Java-based DakView software for PC or Mac OS X to transfer, view and build custom reports, with .csv export for text editors or spreadsheet software, USB-C connectivity, and a backlight (on/off/auto).

MVX Thickness Gauge

SKU dakota-ndt-MVX

The MVX v2.0 is a basic A-Scan thickness gauge capable of handling most advanced thickness applications, with RF, rectified, B-Scan and large-digit display options. An alphanumeric data-logging format with 4 GB of internal SD memory offers far more storage than needed, and custom setup features allow 64 definable setups per file, for as many files as required. It includes a transducer table for improved linearity, a one-button through-paint mode, multiple calibration and material-selection options, and an auto-find waveform function. Java-based DakView software for PC or Mac OS X rounds out the kit, along with a backlight (on/off/auto).

MX2-DL Thickness Gauge

SKU dakota-ndt-MX2-DL

The MX2-DL is an ultrasonic thickness gauge with data logging, from the Dakota Ultrasonics line. It includes DakView software (Java, PC/Mac) to transfer, view and generate reports from saved readings.

DFX7 Flaw Detector

SKU dakota-ndt-DFX7

The DFX-7 is a versatile device that combines flaw-detector and thickness-gauge functions in a single unit, letting operators identify defects and measure material thickness accurately and efficiently — ideal for industrial applications where quality and precision are critical. Response is flat from 40 keV upward, with a normal background of approximately 4 CPM. It runs on a single 9-volt alkaline battery, with battery life of up to 2,000 hours at normal background radiation levels.

FX71-DL Ultrasonic Flaw Detector

SKU dakota-ndt-FX71-DL

Ultrasonic flaw detector (formerly DFX-7+), with DakView PC software and carrying case.

FX81-DL Flaw Detector and Thickness Gauge

SKU dakota-ndt-FX81-DL

The FX81-DL combines an ultrasonic flaw detector and thickness gauge in one unit, with data logging. Like the rest of the Dakota Ultrasonics line, it includes DakView software (Java, PC/Mac) to transfer, view and generate reports from saved readings, plus USB connectivity.
