MX-5 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
The MX-5 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is no longer available and has been replaced by ZX-5.
Click here to see the ZX-5.
Measuring Range in Steel
1.00 - 199.0 mm
0.040 - 8.00 inches
The DAKTOA ULTRASONICS MX-5 Wall Thickness Gauge accurately measures wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of all metals, ceramics, glass and most rigid plastics - from only one side!
The MX-5 can be used in a Scan mode or a Single Thickness Reading mode or, where the probe is dragged over a large measuring area. The minimum thickness reading recorded during the "scan" will be displayed.
The MX-5 probe can be submerged in water as it is waterproof. The gauge is impact-resistant and environmentally sealed to provide trouble-free operation under the toughest field conditions.
