Dakota NDT CMX DL Material and Coating Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
SKU: Z-171-0003
A data logging corrosion thickness gauge that measures material and coating thickness at the same time while detecting pits and flaws, supplied as a complete kit with transducer, PC software and calibration certificate.

The Dakota NDT CMX DL gives inspectors everything they need to measure material and coating thickness at the same time, while still locating pits, flaws and defects in the material. Its range of measurement modes covers bare metal, coated surfaces, hot material and coating-only readings, so one gauge handles most corrosion and wall thickness work.
Automatic probe zero, probe recognition and temperature compensation speed up setup, and the built-in data logger, PC software and transfer cable make documenting surveys simple. The kit ships ready to work with a standard transducer, couplant, batteries, a carrying case and a certificate of calibration.
Key Features
![]() | Coating and material thickness at the same timeIn Pulse-Echo Coating (PECT) mode, the CMX DL displays material thickness and coating thickness separately in a single reading, while still detecting pits and flaws. Inspectors get the full picture of a coated structure without removing the coating. |
Built for the Field
Six measurement modes
Pulse-Echo for bare metal, pits and flaws; Pulse-Echo Coating for material and coating together; temperature-compensated Pulse-Echo for hot surfaces; Echo-Echo and Echo-Echo Verify for thru-coat readings; and Coating Only for coating thickness.
Automatic setup
Automatic probe zero, probe recognition and temperature compensation get you measuring faster and with fewer setup errors.
Flexible calibration
Use single or two-point calibration for both material and coating, or select from basic material types. A selectable transducer table improves linearity, and a 5-position gain switch adapts to difficult materials and applications.
Clear display views and alarms
Switch between large digits and a B-scan cross-section view, with a scan bar for thickness trends and min/max capture during scans. Audible and visual alarms flag readings outside your high and low limits.
Data logging and PC software
Store readings in the built-in data logger and save up to 64 custom setups for specific applications. Transfer data and setups to a PC with the included software and data transfer cable.
Rugged and portable
A small extruded aluminum body gives extra durability for field and shop use, powered by standard AA batteries.
