NM01CMX10DL

Dakota — CMX10-DL Advanced Full-Wave Capture Thickness Gauge

Overview

The Dakota CMX10-DL is an advanced ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for corrosion monitoring, precision thickness measurement, and detailed waveform analysis. Its full-wave capture capability records complete A-scan data, allowing inspectors to review ultrasonic responses rather than relying only on a numerical thickness reading.

The instrument combines live A-scan presentation with B-scan cross-sectional imaging, Time-Corrected Gain, second-layer measurement, and dedicated corrosion and precision thickness modes. This makes the CMX10-DL suitable for inspection programs requiring both rapid thickness readings and more detailed evaluation of complex or layered materials.

Designed for professional field, fabrication, maintenance, and QA/QC use, the CMX10-DL supports inspection of piping, tanks, pressure equipment, structural components, machinery, and other industrial assets. The transducer is not included and must be selected separately according to the material, thickness range, geometry, surface condition, and inspection method.

What's Included

Measurement and Display Functions

Performance Features

Full-Wave Capture and Recording
Records the complete ultrasonic A-scan response, allowing inspectors to review echo behavior, verify measurement selection, and retain more detailed inspection records.

Live A-Scan Display
Presents the ultrasonic waveform in real time to support echo identification, gate adjustment, signal interpretation, and measurement validation.

B-Scan Cross-Sectional Imaging
Displays thickness readings as a profile to help technicians identify localized corrosion, erosion, pitting, and wall-thickness changes across a scanned area.

Time-Corrected Gain
Allows gain to be adjusted over the sound path, helping compensate for signal attenuation and differences in reflector depth.

Corrosion and Precision Measurement
Supports both remaining-wall inspection on corroded components and precise thickness measurement on suitable materials and surfaces.

Second-Layer Capability
Supports measurement of a second material layer or interface when used with the appropriate transducer, setup, and inspection conditions.

Detailed Inspection Documentation
Combines thickness readings with recorded waveform data to support traceability, reporting, review, and comparison during recurring inspections.
