Dakota CMX10-DL Full Wave Capture Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

New for 2026, the Dakota CMX10-DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is packed full of great features all wrapped up in a modern, rugged, reliable & easy to use high performance gauge.

​​The Dakota CMX10-DL, it doesn't just look good - it's packed full of exciting new features to help you with your NDT inspection.

​

 Featuring full A-Scan and B-Scan displays with waveform capture, this through-paint corrosion thickness gauge allows operators to validate readings and detect material inconsistencies with complete confidence—making it ideal for critical inspection tasks.

​

Capture up to 250 readings per second, store and report data with ease, and work smarter with intelligent features like auto probe recognition and programmable alarms.

​

Measure through coatings without removal, capture full waveform data for audit-ready reporting, and scan large areas quickly with high-speed acquisition. 


The result: faster inspections, reduced downtime, and greater confidence in your data. 

 

Dakota CMX10-DL

Incredibly user friendly

The Dakota CMX10-DL Full Wave Capture Thickness Gauge is easy to navigate, simple to set up, all functions and features can be selected from the Menu icon.

Create up to 50 custom setups for routine thickness inspections. 

​

Confident probability of detection

The Dakota CMX10-DL A-Scan Thickness Gauge boosts confidence in probability of detection (POD) through visual waveform analysis, signal optimization tools, and stability indicators that help inspectors verify and reduce false negatives on defects like pits or corrosion. 

​

Full traceability for reassurance of inspection quality

Useful variables such as transducer information, calibration methods, dates and calibration times can all be recorded, ensuring a high degree of consistency and repeatability.

​

See the full picture, not just a number 

A-Scan and B-Scan recording lets inspectors visualize the material profile, review scans and accurately locate corrosion, pits and other defects.

Enhanced Time Corrected Gain (TCG) and Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA), plus flexible filtering and averaging, helps bring out critical signals in noisy or attenuative materials.

Key Features:

  • Ultrasonic thickness measurement through coatings (no paint removal required)

  • Pulse-echo and echo-echo modes for coated and uncoated materials

  • High-speed scan mode (up to 250 readings per second) for large-area inspections

  • Temperature compensation for improved measurement accuracy

  • Differential mode and programmable alarms for enhanced inspection control

  • Heavy duty, rubberised, impact resistant, dust and waterproof case up to IP65.

  • 4GB internal data storage with reporting and data management software

  • Automatic probe recognition for faster setup and reduced user error

  • Up to 20,000 A-Scans on 128MB internal storge or approximately 5 million on a 32GB external memory card.

  • Up to 15 hours battery life with LI-Ion Rechargeable Smart Battery or Mains Power Supply.

  • Enhanced Time Corrected Gain (TCG) & Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA), improving detection of porosity, inclusions, and cracks.

  • Compatible with DakMaster™ for instant report generation and firmwar

​

Designed for demanding environments, the CMX10-DL is widely used in:

  • Corrosion monitoring and inspection

  • Oil & gas, marine, and power generation industries

  • Structural integrity assessments and maintenance programmes​

Product Features Explained - 

Dakota CMX10-DL

Time Corrected Gain (TCG)

Improve possibility of detection

​

Time Corrected Gain (TCG) and filtering lets you lift later echoes without saturating the near surface.  This is useful on rough or heavily corroded backwalls where the important echoes are often weak and buried in noise.
Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA) – enables on screen monitoring of backwall signal amplitude. A drop in backwall amplitude indicates an issue, useful in composite inspections and many other materials.

Second Layer Inspection

Less intrusive inspection better remaining life assessment

​

The second layer/cladding measurement feature is about seeing the true condition of the base metal and liner separately.

The gauge interprets multiple echoes so it can distinguish the outer wall from the inner liner or cladding layer beneath. In practice, that means you can get one reading for total wall and another that represents the remaining thickness of the inner liner, or outer liner, even when it is behind a coating or outer shell.

Crack Prove-Up Capability

Fast confirmation of critical flaws

​

High-resolution, accurate crack prove-up capability for fast confirmation of critical flaws, even in complex geometries.

The Dakota CMX10-DL Thickness Gauge increases the probability of detection of hard to detect pits and cracks using traditional angle transducer inspection methods, to supporting confident fitness-for-service decisions.

Image Collect

For guided inspection locations

​

Upload a custom photo or CAD model of the part via DakMaster™ and then tap on that image to drive the next measurement location directly on the gauge itself.

Internal Defect

With point-to-point measurement

​

B-Scan supports additional identification of defects in a composite layer beyond that of a traditional A- Scan gauge.
Cursors for point to point measurement provide accurate depth measurement.

Overlay Comparison

Identify differences in waveforms

​

The Dakota CMX10-DL ultrasonic thickness gauge can help identify differences in waveform signal patterns to indicate changes in structure or areas of concern.
