Dakota NDT

Dakota NDT manufacture high quality, ultrasonic testing equipment for petrochemical, aerospace, power generation, automotive and other industries. Based in California, Dakota have a proud history of reliability and innovation that's backed by dedicated customer service and support across all areas of non-destructive ultrasonic thickness, corrosion, flaw detection and bolt tension testing.

Dakota's ultrasonic thickness gauges are some of the toughest and most reliable units available, with rugged IP65 rated gasket-sealed aluminium housings and warranty periods of up to 5 years. A wide range of NDT units offers everything from a basic single velocity gauge to highly accurate, data logging, multi-mode, material and coating thickness devices with live visual displays.

The Dakota ZX3 Corrosion Thickness Gauge replaces the best selling MX-3 model and provides an extremely accurate, versatile and easy to use solution for a wide range of material thickness testing applications.

The Dakota R9 Sonic Tester is designed for automotive applications but also popular with manufacturers of polyethylene tanks due to a range of features including a high speed scan mode that locates the minimum thickness over large areas and an extended operating temperature range of -30 to +75°C.

Dakota's portable and benchtop ultrasonic flaw detectors combine state of the art functionality with advanced material thickness capabilities. Using high frequency sound waves, Dakota's flaw detection range provides precise, non-invasive inspection tools to locate and analyse hidden cracks, voids and flaws in welds, forgings, turbines and other structural components.

Dakota's ultrasonic bolt tension monitors range offers a choice of portable BT1-DL, benchtop BT2-DL and remote access multi-channel MultiMax models to measure the length / elongation, time (nanoseconds), load, tensile stress and strain of threaded fasteners. Dakota NDT provide precise and reliable bolt testing equipment to inspect and assess critical mechanical joints and assemblies, guarantee continuous operational safety and prevent potentially catastrophic failures or breakages on site. Using advanced ultrasonics, Dakota bolt stress meters feature incredible accuracy, measurement ranges to 30m, data logging, through-coating readings, active temperature compensation, and remote access for real-time monitoring and control.

Dakota NDT 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.
