The Dakota ZX-1 ultrasound wall thickness gauge is typically deployed for the measurement of wall thickness and the degree of corrosion on different types of materials and is particularly suitable for tests on one type of material.
This convenient and easy to use ultrasound wall thickness gauge can be deployed for the inspection of pipes and comes with a single velocity setting enabling an immeditate testing.
The total measuring range (depending on material and probe type) ranges from 0.63 to 914.4 mm and on steel (with standard T-102-2000 probe) from 1,00 to 199,9 mm.
Velocity range (velocity through a given material) setting:
0.0120 - 0.7300 inches/μs and from
For calibration on a wide range of materials:
305 - 18,542 meters/s
The preset speed value lock avoids unintentional changes to settings.The whole is rounded up with a limited warranty of 5 years on the gauge.
Zeroing:
Automatic or manual zeroing of the probe.
Probe diameter:
Specify the probe diameter for increased linearity.
Differential mode:
Returns the ± difference from an entered nominal value.
Velocity Settings: Adjustable on keypad
Alarm Mode:
Adjustable maximum and minimum limits. Exceeding the limit warns a visual and audible alarm.
2-point calibration:
Automatically determines the correct speed of sound from a calibration on 2 samples of known thickness.
