Dakota CMX Dual Element Corrosion Thickness Gauge

The Dakota Ultrasonics CMX Corrosion Thickness Gauge is a durable multi-mode, dual element gauge designed for rough conditions. This IP65 rated unit is ideal for detecting corrosion and pitting in applications on glass, tanks, tubes and pipe, and boilers. The CMX is protected by an extruded aluminum body and nickel-plated aluminum end caps (gasket sealed). The 12-key keypad is made with a sealed membrane to make it resistant to water and petroleum products. A backlit display allows the operator to view readings even in dim settings. For harsher environments, operators can take advantage of the alarm mode and set a high and low temperature limit.

This gauge is CDC compatible serial over USB and also features USB-C connectivity. The CMXDL includes a Data Logger for storage of measurements, B-Scans, and custom setups. The data logger model is available with 25Hz and 60Hz screen refresh rate options as well as an AMOLED color VGA screen. While having the same features as the MMX-7, the CMX also offers coating modes, automatic probe zeroing and recognition, and temperature compensation. The CMX Corrosion Thickness Gauge offers four modes to match the challenges presented in a variety of industry applications. 

Pulse-Echo Mode

• Measures from 0.025 48" (0.63 to 1219.2mm)
• Ideal for detecting pits and flaws
• Auto temperature compensation
• Useable with Coating Mode

Echo-Echo Mode

• Measures from 0.100 to 6" (2.54 to 152.4mm)
• Ideal for thru paint and coatings
• Range varies ± depending on the coating

Echo-Echo Mode (E-EV)

• Measures from 0.050 to 1" (1.27 to 25.4mm)
• Ideal for thru paint and coatings
• Range varies ± depending on the coating

Coating Only Mode

• Measures from 0.0005 to 0.100" (0.0127 to 2.54 mm)
• Ideal for testing coating thickness
• Range varies ± depending on the coating

The CMX utilizes dual square wave pulsers and dual receivers with manual or AGC gain control (limited 110dB range). To improve linearity, the operator can select transducer types with built-in dual path error correction. A bar graph shows the stability of readings during inspection. Velocities can be set manually using the CAL key or selected from a list of 8 common material velocities. This unit includes 4GB of internal SD memory.
