Overview

The Dakota ZX6-DL Corrosion Thickness Gauge is the most advanced model in the Dakota ZX Series, developed for professional corrosion inspection and critical wall thickness measurement tasks. It is designed for experienced inspectors and maintenance engineers who require higher measurement confidence, improved signal stability, and advanced ultrasonic measurement capability in the field. The ZX6-DL is particularly suited for applications where material condition, surface quality, or inspection reliability is critical.

The instrument features a rugged extruded aluminum housing engineered for long-term use in harsh industrial environments such as oil and gas facilities, refineries, petrochemical plants, power stations, and offshore installations. Its high-contrast LCD display ensures clear and readable thickness values in both indoor and outdoor conditions. The ergonomic keypad layout and intuitive user interface allow efficient operation during extended inspection sessions, reducing operator fatigue and inspection time.

Technical Features & Specifications

The Dakota ZX6-DL uses ultrasonic pulse-echo thickness measurement technology combined with advanced signal processing to deliver reliable and repeatable thickness readings on steel and other common metallic materials. In addition to standard pulse-echo measurement, the ZX6-DL offers enhanced measurement control designed to improve performance on challenging surfaces and variable material conditions.

The instrument includes internal data logging functionality, allowing inspectors to store measurement results directly within the gauge for later review and reporting. Adjustable gain and measurement parameters help optimize signal quality for different inspection scenarios. Powered by standard AA batteries, the ZX6-DL supports extended field operation, while its stable electronics ensure consistent performance over long inspection campaigns.

Industrial Applications

The Dakota ZX6-DL Corrosion Thickness Gauge is widely used for advanced corrosion monitoring of pipelines, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and structural components. Typical applications include inspection programs in oil and gas production facilities, refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation stations, marine and offshore structures, and heavy industrial processing plants. It is particularly suitable for critical assets where accurate thickness data and inspection reliability are essential.

Installation & Use Notes

Accurate measurements require proper acoustic coupling between the transducer and the test surface using a suitable ultrasonic couplant. The ZX6-DL performs best on clean, uncoated, or lightly coated materials, although its enhanced signal control improves reliability on more challenging surfaces compared to basic models. Surface preparation enhances repeatability and accuracy. The instrument is designed for spot measurements with stored data rather than continuous monitoring systems and is compatible with standard Dakota NDT ultrasonic transducers.
