MX-2 Ultrasonic Wall Thickness Gauge
The MX-2 Ultrasonic Wall Thickness Gauge is no longer available and has been replaced by ZX-2.
Click here to see the ZX-2.
The MX-2 is ideal for the person that tests a few different materials regularly. The MX-2 contains 8 velocities of common materials and two velocities that can be set using a simple software program.
Even in dim light conditions, the tool's backlit display is easy to read. The unit operates for up to 200 hours on a single set of batteries.
The MX-2 comes complete, ready to use, and is protected by Dakota Ultrasonics 5 year limited warranty.
Velocity Settings
The MX-2 has 8 set velocities and 2 that are custom to the user's applications. The set velocities are as follows:
1. Steel 4340-(.233)
2. Stainless Steel 303-( .223 )
3. Aluminum 2024 - ( .251 )
4. Cast Iron -(.179 )
5. Plexiglass -(.106 )
6. PVC - (.094)
7. Polystyrene (.092)
8. Polyurethane -(.070 )
