Dakota MVX Dual Element Corrosion Thickness Gauge

The Dakota Ultrasonics MVX 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 MXV 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 utilizes USB-C to PC/OSX connectivity. While having the same features as the MMX-7, the MVX also offers A Scan with rectified ± flaw view and B-Scan with a time-based cross section view. The MVX also offers Pulse-Echo mode for Flaw and Pit detection as well as an Echo-Echo mode for inspections on Thru Paint and Coatings. This unit includes 4GB of internal SD memory.

The MVX features 64 custom used-defined setups and editable factory setups. 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.

The MVX Corrosion Thickness Gauge is factory-calibrated to NIST & MIL-STD-45662A standards. 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 and Hi damped transducers are also useable with this unit.
