The Dakota ZX-3 Wall Thickness Gauge accurately measures wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of all metals, ceramics, glass and most rigid plastics - from only one side! It can measure thickness up to 36 inches (915 mm), depending upon the material and transducer.
The ZX-3 combines the best features of the ZX-2 allowing the operator to select from 8 preset materials as well as program 2 custom material velocities,
plus allows free adjustment of the velocity as desired and allows the end-user to calibrate to a sample of known thickness where the velocity is automatically
calculated. Additionally, to optimize linearity over a wide range, the user can perform a 2 point calibration to two samples of known thickness. The
optimal velocity is automatically calculated to provide the highest accuracy and linearity between the low and high calibration points.
The TI-25MX can be used in a Single Thickness Reading mode or in a Scan mode , where the probe is dragged over a large measuring area. The minimum thickness
reading recorded during the "scan" will be displayed.
The ZX-3 probe is waterproof and can be submerged in water. The gauge is impact-resistant and environmentally sealed (IP65) to provide trouble-free operation
under the toughest field conditions.
