The Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-6 Through-Paint Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Z-305-0001 / Z-305-0003 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.

The Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-6 Through-Paint Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Z-305-0001 / Z-305-0003 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 Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-6 Through-Paint Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Z-305-0001 / Z-305-0003 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 Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-6 Through-Paint Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Z-305-0001 / Z-305-0003 is covered by a 5-Year Limited Warranty, CE-certified and is proudly Made in the USA.

The Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-6 Through-Paint Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Z-305-0001 / Z-305-0003 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
