DakotaNDT CMX-10DL
This is not just another A- Scan thickness gauge, this is an A- Scan gauge with full wave recording, B- Scan, TCG and 2nd layer, corrosion & precision thickness in one easy to use, affordable gauge.
Incredibly User Friendly
The Dakota CMX10-DL Full Wave Capture Thickness Gauge is easy to navigate, simple to set up, all functions and features can be selected from the Menu icon. Create up to 50 custom setups for routine thickness inspections.
Confident Probability Detection
The Dakota CMX10-DL A-Scan Thickness Gauge boosts confidence in probability of detection (POD) through visual waveform analysis, signal optimization tools, and stability indicators that help inspectors verify and reduce false negatives on defects like pits or corrosion.
Full Traceability for reassurance of inspection quality
Useful variables such as transducer information, calibration methods, dates and calibration times can all be recorded, ensuring a high degree of consistency and repeatability.
See the full picture, not just a number
A-Scan and B-Scan recording lets inspectors visualize the material profile, review scans and accurately locate corrosion, pits and other defects.
Enhanced Time Corrected Gain (TCG) and Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA), plus flexible filtering and averaging, helps bring out critical signals in noisy or attenuative materials.

Time Corrected Gain (TCG)
Improves possibility of detection
Time Corrected Gain (TCG) and filtering lets you lift later echoes without saturating the near surface. That is useful on rough or heavily corroded backwalls where the important echoes are weak and buried in noise.
Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA) – enables on screen monitoring of backwall signal amplitude. A drop in backwall amplitude indicates an issue, useful in composite inspections and many other materials.
Second Layer Inspection
Less intrusive inspection better remaining life assessment
The second layer/cladding measurement feature is about seeing the true condition of the base metal and liner separately.
The gauge interprets multiple echoes so it can distinguish the outer wall from the inner liner or cladding layer beneath. In practice, that means you can get one reading for total wall and another that represents the remaining thickness of the inner liner, or outer liner, even when it is behind a coating or outer shell.
Crack Prove-Up Capability
Fast confirmation of critical flaw
High-resolution, accurate crack prove-up capability for fast confirmation of critical flaws, even in complex geometries.
The Dakota CMX10-DL Thickness Gauge increases the probability of detection of hard to detect pits and cracks using traditional angle transducer inspection methods, to supporting confident fitness-for-service decisions.
