    Description

    Dakota Ultrasonics UMX-2 is an underwater material and coating thickness gauge designed for offshore inspections and is rated to operate at a depth of 1000 feet (300 meters).

    The UMX-2 is highly versatile and works with both Dual & Single element transducers. The UMX-2 comes equipped with multiple measurement mode options to match all your application requirements. The unit comes with an onboard 5,000 point data logger and stores each measurement, along with an actual A-Scan waveform.
