Dakota NDT ZX2 Fixed Velocity Thickness Gauge

The Dakota NDT ZX2 fixed velocity thickness gauge is a basic dual element thickness gauge with the ability to locate blind surface pitting and internal defects/flaws in materials. The ZX2 is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as ±0.001 inches (±0.01 millimeters).

The ZX2 gives inspectors more pre-set calibration options by allowing them to scroll to a known material velocity, or select a common material from a list of material types stored within the gauge.
