The new ZX-6 Wall Thickness Gauge is as the entire ZX-Series designed for the one sided measurement of wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of metals, ceramics, glass and most rigid plastics.
In addition, the ZX-6 can be deployed for through-paint wall thickness measurements. 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.
The below cited high-damped dual-element transducers are specifically designed for use when employing the E-E Thru-Paint Mode:
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
Measuring ranges are indicated below:
Total Measuring Range
Pulse-Echo Mode (Pit & Flaw Detection) - PE Mode
0.63 to 914.4 mm
Echo-Echo Mode (Through Paint & Coatings) - EE Mode
2.54 to 25.40 mm
(Acutal range depends upon probe selected) - five probes to choose from
Measuring Range on Steel (with standard T-102-2700 probe)
Pulse-Echo Mode (Pit & Flaw Detection) - PE Mode
1.00 to 199.9mm
Echo-Echo Mode (Through Paint & Coatings) - EE Mode

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.
