Description
The Dakota NDT FX70 Series flaw detector and thickness gauge combines state-of-the-art flaw detection with advanced material thickness capabilities. When the FX70 gauge is set to thickness gauge, it measures coatings and material thickness simultaneously. When set to flaw detector, the gauge detects the size and position of flaws and differentiates between flaw types in various materials and welded joints. The user is able to set hi/lo limits for pass/fail indication with audible warnings and built-in differential mode for quality control inspections.
The FX70 gauge has a choice of display modes including A- and B-Scan displays and flaw detection modes such as TRIG, DAC, TCG, Flank, and Peak. The time corrected gain (TCG) feature automatically compensates for sound attenuation through a material, further increasing the performance of the gauge.
The FX70 stores up to 4GB worth of readings with A/B-scan images in alpha numeric batches with full data logging and firmware updates via USB data output to DakMaster data management software.
