DAKOTA ULTRASONICS

Industrial Ultrasonic Testing Solutions by Dakota NDT

Dakota NDT develops ultrasonic inspection technology engineered for industries where material integrity and measurement accuracy are critical. Their equipment supports inspection and maintenance programs across aerospace, petrochemical processing, energy production, automotive manufacturing and general industrial environments.

Rather than focusing on a single application, Dakota’s range is designed to support multiple inspection workflows. Devices cover functional requirements across all areas of corrosion monitoring and material verification as well as structural flaw detection and bolt load analysis.

Reliable Thickness Measurement for Field and Production Use

Dakota’s ultrasonic thickness gauges are built for consistent performance in demanding operating conditions. Rugged aluminium housings with gasket sealed construction securely protect internal components during onsite inspections, while extended warranty coverage reflects long-term equipment reliability and support.

The portfolio includes entry-level gauges for routine measurement as well as advanced multi-mode instruments capable of recording inspection data, analysing coated materials and providing live visual measurement feedback. These tools enable operators to quickly assess wall thickness, corrosion levels and material condition without interrupting operations.

ZX3 Corrosion Thickness Gauge

The ZX3 corrosion thickness gauge represents the evolution of Dakota’s well-established MX-3 platform. Designed for efficiency in day-to-day inspection work, the ZX3 provides accurate readings across a wide variety of materials while maintaining a straightforward operating interface suited to both experienced technicians and new users. Its versatility makes it suitable for maintenance inspections, asset integrity programs and preventative monitoring applications.

R9 Sonic Tester

The R9 sonic tester is widely used in automotive inspection and polyethylene tank manufacturing. Its high‑speed scan mode quickly identifies minimum thickness across large surfaces, while the extended operating range of ‑30°C to +75°C ensures dependable performance in demanding environments.

Flaw Detection Instruments

Portable and benchtop flaw detectors from Dakota combine advanced ultrasonic technology with material thickness capabilities. These instruments detect cracks, voids and hidden defects in welds, forgings, turbines and other structural components, providing non‑invasive inspection confidence.

Bolt Tension Monitoring

Dakota’s bolt tension monitors measure elongation, stress, strain, load and time with exceptional accuracy. Models include the BT1‑DL, BT2‑DL and advanced MultiMax system. Industries rely on these devices to safeguard mechanical joints, prevent failures and maintain operational safety. Features include through‑coating readings, active temperature compensation, extended measurement ranges up to 30m, data logging and remote access for real‑time monitoring.

Dakota NDT also offer a comprehensive selection of Accessories and Ultrasonic Transducers with a range of diameters, frequencies and connection types to suit your device and specific application.
