The Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-1 Corrosion Thickness Gauge is a durable dual element gauge with a fixed velocity. This IP65 rated unit is ideal for detecting corrosion and pitting in applications on glass, tanks, tubes and pipe, and boilers. The ZX-1 is protected by an extruded aluminum body and nickel-plated aluminum end caps (gasket sealed). The key pad is made with a sealed membrane to make it resistant to water and petroleum products.
Velocity can be set manually with the VEL key located on the unit. A backlit display allows the operator to view readings even in dim settings. This gauge includes a 1/4" Ø potted, side entry, dual element transducer at 5 MHz. This transducer is perfect for use on steels, thin plastics, and glass. High-temp transducers are also useable with this unit.
