Dakota NDT ZX-3 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge: Advanced Calibration for Enhanced Accuracy

Step up your thickness measurement capabilities with the Dakota NDT ZX-3 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge. This instrument is engineered for professionals who demand superior accuracy and flexibility in their calibration process, ensuring precise readings across a wide range of materials and applications. The ZX-3 delivers high-performance measurement in a robust, user-friendly package, making it an indispensable tool for critical inspections.

Precision Engineering for Unrivaled Accuracy

The ZX-3 is built on a foundation of cutting-edge ultrasonic technology. It features 120MHz FPGA timing and a powerful 150-volt square wave pulser, ensuring exceptional measurement stability and crystal-clear signal returns. This core technology guarantees that every reading is precise, reliable, and consistent.

Compatible with dual element transducers (1-10MHz options), the ZX-3 offers the versatility to handle diverse materials and thickness ranges. What truly sets the ZX-3 apart is its advanced calibration flexibility:

• Easy Field Calibration: 1 or 2 Point Options: Tailor your calibration to the specific demands of your measurement. A 1-point calibration is ideal for quick, accurate setup on a known sample, while a 2-point calibration provides enhanced linearity and accuracy over a wider thickness range, crucial for precise results across varying material thicknesses.

• Versatile Velocity Management: Choose from 8 common material velocities for quick selection, program 2 custom velocities for your specialized materials, or set manually using the VEL key for complete control, adapting seamlessly to any measurement scenario.

Optimized Performance and User Control

The ZX-3 is designed with features that empower the user to achieve optimal results:

• Auto/Manual Zero: Choose between automatic transducer zeroing for convenience or manual zeroing for precise control over your starting reference point.

• Adjustable Gain: Fine-tune the signal amplification with selectable gain settings, allowing you to optimize readings for various material types, surface conditions, and thicknesses, ensuring the best possible echo detection.

• Selectable Probe Diameter (Linearity): This intelligent feature allows the gauge to compensate for the specific characteristics of your transducer, improving the linearity of your measurements and enhancing overall accuracy, particularly crucial for very thin or very thick materials.

• High Speed Scanning: Efficiently scan large areas to quickly locate the minimum thickness, ideal for detecting localized corrosion or pitting.

• Backlit Display: The high-visibility LCD display is always clear, even in dim lighting conditions, and its custom low-temperature design ensures operation down to -22°F (-30°C), making it reliable in any environment.

Built Tough, Guaranteed Long-Term

Encased in a durable housing, the ZX-3 boasts an IP65 protection rating, signifying complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to water jets. This robust construction ensures that the gauge can withstand the rigors of demanding industrial and field environments. Your investment is further secured by Dakota NDT's comprehensive 5-year limited warranty, a testament to the ZX-3's quality and enduring reliability.

The Dakota NDT ZX-3 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge provides unparalleled control over calibration and measurement parameters, offering the precision, versatility, and durability required for the most demanding inspection tasks.
