The Dakota ZX5-DL ultrasonic thickness gauge adds data logging functionality to the standard ZX5 model.

The ZX5-DL provides flexibility and saves valuable time in the field when testing different materials. Calibration can be manually set to a known material velocity or thickness, or to one of eight common material types stored on the gauge (aluminium, cast iron, plexiglass, polystyrene, polyurethane, PVC, stainless steel and steel).

A high speed scanning mode displays the minimum thickness measured over larger test areas. A differential mode displays any +/- variance from a fixed base value. An alarm mode provides audible and / or visual alerts when readings fall outside defined high or low tolerance levels.

Onboard data logging adds a 32MB flash memory for storage of up to 10,000 readings, which can be transferred via USB as a .csv file.

The ZX5-DL can also operate as a velocity / density / hardness gauge, with readings displayed in m/sec or in/µs rather than mm or inches.

Adjustable gain / amplification increases accuracy when testing noisy, granular or difficult to penetrate materials. The probe diameter can also be adjusted to increase linearity and reading accuracy.

For long-term or continuous use, the ZX5-DL can be powered by the included USB-C to USB-A cable / power adapter.

Fast, accurate measurements to 0.01mm give you reliable test results. A rugged, water resistant, sealed aluminium casing means the ZX5-DL is built to withstand everyday use in heavy duty, industrial workplaces.

The ZX5-DL is ready to operate straight out of the box and is backed by Dakota's legendary 5 years limited warranty.
