CMXDL Data-Logging Ultrasonic Coating & Wall Thickness Gauge

Made in USA
Dakota CMXDL Ultrasonic Wall and Coating Thickness Gauge
Click images to enlarge.
The new CMX1-DL / CMXDL measures both coating and wall thickness quickly and accurately—from only one side. In addition, when switched to Pulse-Echo mode, the CMXDL automatically measures and eliminates the coating from the wall thickness measurement, enabling the user to locate the finest corrosion and pitting—without removing the coating.

Oversized graphic LCD is backlit and features easy to read fonts, graphics and display codes showing all critical settings including Velocity, Operating Mode, Alarms, Scan Mode and more. The backlight can be set to ON (always-on), OFF (always-off) or AUTO (automatically-on when measuring).

Five user-selected operating modes are included:

Coating On: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo. It separately displays wall & coating thickness.

Coating Off: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo. It displays wall thickness only.

Temperature Compensated: Measures wall thickness using Pulse-Echo and automatically adjusts calibration to compensate for changes in material temperature.

Thru-Coat: Measures wall thickness only using Echo-Echo. (coating is NOT included)

Coating Only Mode (CT): (Coating Thickness) Measures from 0.0005 to 0.100 inches (0.013 to 2.540 mm). Range will vary slightly depending on the coating.

  • Data Files can be user-set for a "grid type" structure where data is formatted in Rows & Columns or a "sequential" file where all data appears in a single column

  • Each "grid type" File can be set for up to 999 rows by 52 columns

  • Each "sequential" File can be set for up to 512 rows by 1 column

  • Each File can be set for "data only" or as "data plus B-scan Graphic". Memory Capacity is over 225,000 data values or over 16,000 data values with B-scan

Features

  • Auto probe recognition with Auto Zero or Manual Zero.
  • Wide variety of dual-element probes can be used for nearly any application.
  • Bar graph with user-set start end values providing highest resolution around the target thickness value.
  • Differential Mode allows user to set a "target thickness value" and display will show the DIFFERENCE between actual and target thickness as a plus or minus value.
  • Includes NIST-Traceable Calibration.
  • TI-CMX-H for surface temps up to 300°F/150°C. Optional hi-temp probes for higher surface temperatures offered
  • Adjustable Gain in 5 steps (VLow, Low, Med, Hi & VHi) in 2db increments providing a 8 db gain adjust range (42–50 db).

Hi-Speed Scan Mode B-Scan Mode
High Speed Scan Mode B-Scan Mode
Scan Mode measures 64 times per second, displaying the max and min reading measured during the scan interval. Sample rate is 200/sec when coating measurement is off. The B-Scan displays a time based cross section view of test material of the contour of the blind, or underside of a pipe or tank application. the B-Scan view draws at a rate of seven seconds per screen from right to left.
