Resolution: 0.001" (0.01 mm)
Alarm mode, Differential mode, high speed scanning, and data send
Measuring Range in Steel
0.040 - 8.00 inches
1.00 - 199.0 mm The Dakota Ultrasonics MX-5 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge accurately measures wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of all metals, ceramics, glass and most rigid plastics - from only one side! The MX-5 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge 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 MX-5 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge probe is waterproof and can be submerged in water. The gauge is impact-resistant and environmentally sealed to provide trouble-free operation under the toughest field conditions
