Dakota CMX Series Corrosion Thickness Gauges
Top of the range and easy to use, the Dakota CMX Series Corrosion Thickness Gauges provide inspectors with all the features necessary to measure the material and coating thickness at the same time.
Intelligent
User definable limits for pass/fail indication
Set limits for pass/fail indication on individual reading or for each batch with audible & visual warnings.
Powerful
Store each measurement for further analysis
Up to 4GB of readings can be saved into the gauge memory as each measurement is taken, which can be downloaded later into an inspection application or into DakMaster™ Software for further analysis and reporting.
Versatile
Able to measure coating and material thickness
The Dakota CMX Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges have the ability to measure coatings and material thickness simultaneously while maintaining the ability to locate pits, flaws and defects in the material.
Customisable
Choose & customise the reading display
The Dakota CMX Series Thickness Gauge range has a choice of display modes allowing the user to select the most appropriate for their needs; Readings, B-Scan, B-Scan combined with readings, Scan bar & the A-Scan on the Dakota CMX2-DL Corrosion Thickness Gauge and Dakota CMX3-DL Corrosion Thickness Gauge.

Pulse - Echo Mode (PE):
The normal display mode, measures the total thickness from the base of the transducer probe to the material density boundary (typically the back wall). Ideal for pit and flaw detection.
Echo - Echo Mode (EE):
Also known as the ThruPaint™ Mode, EE ignores the coating thickness, displaying the material thickness from the top surface of the material to the material density boundary.
Pulse - Echo Temp Comp Mode (PETP):
Similar to the PE mode, PETP takes into account and compensates for the variations in measurement caused by temperature variations.
Echo - Echo Verify Mode (EEV):
The echo-echo verify mode measures by comparing the values between 3 reflections and is commonly used to eliminate errors from surface coatings and to make measurements in multiple layered materials.
Coating Only Mode (CT):
Displays the thickness of the coating applied to the material.
Pulse - Echo Coating Mode (PECT):
Displays both the material thickness (PE) and the coating thickness (CT) at the same time.
