The Dakota Ultrasonics ZX-6 Corrosion Thickness Gauge is a durable 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 ZX-6 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. 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. Depending on the material and transducer type, the ZX-6 has a range of 0.025" to 36". While having the same features as the ZX-5, the ZX-6 also offers an echo-echo through paint multi mode with a Thru-Paint range of 0.100" to 6" on base metal and with a coating thickness of 0.001" to 0.075".
The ZX-6 features a high speed scan (speed at 100Hz), which displays the lowest reading found during a scan. Differential mode displays the ± difference from the entered nominal value. 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 ZX-6 Corrosion Thickness Gauge is factory-calibrated to NIST & MIL-STD-45662A standards. The Data Logger model stores data on the unit, 40 files of 250 readings per file for a total of 10000 readings. 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.
