The Dakota NDT ZX-6DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is a robust and highly capable instrument designed for accurate and reliable material thickness measurements in challenging industrial environments. As part of Dakota's esteemed ZX series, this gauge offers a performance solution built to withstand the roughest conditions, combining essential features with advanced capabilities, including a crucial data logging function.

A key strength of the ZX-6DL is its dual measurement modes: Pulse-Echo (P-E) for detecting pits and flaws, and Echo-Echo (E-E) for accurate measurements directly through coatings like paint and epoxy, eliminating the need for coating removal. This "Thru-Paint" capability significantly enhances inspection efficiency and reduces preparation time. The gauge features an impressive measurement range, from 0.025 to 36.00 inches (0.63 to 914.4 mm) in P-E mode, and 0.100 to 6.00 inches (2.54 to 25.40 mm) in E-E mode (base metal), with a high resolution of 0.001 inches (0.01 mm).

The ZX-6DL is equipped with an integrated datalogger that can store up to 10,000 readings in 40 files, each containing 250 readings. This allows for efficient organization and subsequent transfer of data to a PC via USB-C connectivity for analysis and reporting using Dakota's software. The gauge features an intuitive membrane keypad resistant to water and petroleum products, a clear multi-function LCD display with adjustable backlight, and a tough IP65-rated extruded aluminum body with nickel-plated end caps, ensuring durability and environmental sealing. It operates on two standard AA batteries, offering excellent battery life. The instrument comes with a standard 1/4" 5 MHz Hi-Damp dual element transducer (T-102-2700), couplant, batteries, a manual, and a hard-plastic carrying case.
