Dakota ZX Thickness Gauges

Dakota ZX range of corrosion thickness gauges

The Dakota ZX Corrosion Thickness Gauges are basic thickness gauges making them affordable tools that require no special training to operate.

  • Summary
    • Summary

    • The ZX Corrosion Thickness Gauge is available in seven different models. Each thickness gauge provides the inspector with increasing functionality - from the entry level Dakota ZX1 Thickness Gauge, to the top of the range Dakota ZX6-DL Corrosion Thickness Gauge.

      Each Dakota ZX Thickness Gauge has been designed to withstand the harshest environments, made from an extruded aluminium body and is equipped with a LCD screen for improved visibility during sunlight.

      Producing repeatable and reproducible measurements, the Dakota ZX range is available with a 5 year manufacturer's warranty, giving you peace of mind.

      Dakota ZX Thickness Gauges

      The ZX1 thickness gauge is pre-calibrated to measure steel, allowing the inspector to simply take the gauge out the box and measure. The ZX2 gives inspectors more pre-set calibration options by simply scrolling to a known material velocity, or selecting a common material from a list of material types stored within the corrosion thickness gauge.

      The ZX6 and ZX6-DL corrosion gauges are at the top of the ZX line of basic thickness gauges. They combine a standard pulse-echo flaw detection measurement mode with a multi-echo through paint mode for use on materials with epoxy based coatings, and eliminate the error from the coating without having to remove it. They are equipped with adjustable gain, as well as automatic Time Dependent Gain in both measurement modes.
