The new Dakota ZX-6 Wall Thickness Gauge accurately measures wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of all metals, ceramics, glass and most rigid plastics - from only one side!When operated in E-E Mode (Thru-Paint Mode), the coating is eliminated from the reading and the gauge will display only the thickness of the metal wall.
ZX-6 Features include Automatic or Manual Probe Zero maximizing accuracy, 5-position Gain Adjustment to help located the correct backwall echo and to penetrate the walls on sound-attenuating materials such as cast metals and thick materials. It also features Differential mode, Hi-Low Alarms with audible and visual indicators and Scan mode that captures the minimum thickness at 100 measurements per second (100 Hz). It also includes a special Velocity Mode to measure in terms of velocity for nodularity testing.
The ZX-6 can be used in a Single Thickness Reading mode or in a Scan mode , where the probe is dragged over a large measuring area. The minimum thickness reading recorded during the "scan" will be displayed.
The gauge and probe have a protection rating of IP67, is impact-resistant and environmentally sealed to provide trouble-free operation under the toughest field conditions. The ZX-6 is covered by a 5-Year Limited Warranty, CE-certified and is proudly Made in the USA.
The ZX-6 can be used with any of the following hi-damped dual-element transducers specifically designed for use when employing the E-E Thru-Paint Mode. Probes possibilities include:
T-101-2700, 3/16" Diameter, 5.0 MHz Hi-damped transducer for thru paint measurement
T-101-3700, 3/16" Diameter, 7.5 MHz Hi-damped transducer for thru paint measurement
T-102-2700, 1/4" Diameter, 5.0 MHz Hi-Damped transducer for thru paint measurement - Standard Probe
T-102-3700, 1/4" Diameter, 7.5 MHz Hi-Damped Transducer for thru paint measurement
T-104-2700, 1/2" Diameter, 5.0 MHz Hi-Damped Transducer for thru paint measurement
T-104-9700, 1/2" diameter, 3.5 MHz Hi-Damped transducer for thru paint measurement

Features
- Includes both Pulse-Echo Mode (Pit & Flaw Detection) and Echo-Echo Mode (Through Paint & Coatings Mode)
- Using the standard probe T-102-2700, the gauge will read thru 0.040" coating thickness (1 mm)
- Using one of the optional probes T-104-2700, the gauge will read thru 0.075" coating thickness (1.9 mm)
- Calibrate to a sample of known thickness which automatically calculates the optimal acoustic velocity
- 2-Point Calibration to optimize linearity over a wide measurement range, automatically calculates the optimal acoustic velocity
- Scan mode, 100 readings/sec. Probe is slid over a large measuring area, the minimum thickness during the "scan" will be displayed
- Adjustable GAIN in 5 steps to fine tune the gauge for use on challenging materials or applications
- Differential mode, Hi-Low Alarms with audible and visual indicators
- User-selected Manual or Auto Zero of Transducer
- The extruded aluminum housing is impact-resistant and environmentally sealed (IP 65)
- to provide trouble-free operation under the toughest field conditions
- High visibility LCD Display is readable in all lighting conditions and temps as low as 22 °F (-30 °C)
- LCD shows Thickness Value, Velocity Setting, Gain Setting, Stability & Battery Indicators, Scan Mode, Zero, units and stored data
- Special-purpose probes are offered for a variety of applications (1 to 10 MHz)
- Single value data output via USB port
- Selectable Backlight ON/OFF/AUTO
- Resolution of 0.001 inch (0.01 mm)
