Dakota NDT CMX1 DL | Corrosion & Coating Thickness Gauge
High-Performance Ultrasonic Inspection with Integrated Data Logging
The Dakota CMX1 DL is a versatile and rugged ultrasonic thickness gauge designed to measure both material and coating thicknesses simultaneously. Whether you are inspecting for internal corrosion, pitting, or verifying coating integrity, the CMX1 DL provides the precision of high-end lab equipment in a field-ready package. With its built-in data logger and B-Scan capabilities, it is the ideal tool for pipelines, pressure vessels, and structural steel maintenance.
Key Performance Features
Simultaneous Multi-Mode Measurement: * Pulse-Echo (P-E): Standard pit and flaw detection.
Echo-Echo (E-E): Measures through paint and coatings, providing the substrate thickness only.
Pulse-Echo Coating (PECT): Simultaneously displays both the material and the coating thickness.
Integrated Data Logger (DL): Store over 200,000 measurements (or 16,000 with B-Scan graphics). Features multiple file formats including Sequential and Alpha-Numeric Grid.
Time-Based B-Scan: Provides a cross-sectional visual of the test material, allowing the inspector to see the profile of the opposite surface—critical for identifying localized corrosion.
High-Speed Scan Mode: Captures 250 readings per second. The gauge automatically holds the minimum thickness value found during a scan, making it perfect for rapid wall-thinning assessments.
Rugged Construction: Housed in an extruded aluminum body with nickel-plated end caps, gasket-sealed to withstand the harshest industrial environments.
