Advantages of Dakota UMX-2 Underwater Coating Thickness Gauge

The UMX-2 underwater coating measuring instrument is a new addition to the Dakota product line. Fully equipped with our DSP platform using FPGA technology, it is very versatile for all these offshore inspections. The DAKOTA UMX-2's durable housing is rated for depths up to 1000 feet (300 meters) and offers the use of dual and single membrane sensors to meet your application requirements. These features include: automatic probe zeroing, automatic probe recognition and multiple measurement mode options.

DAKOTA's Dual Element Mode (corrosion detection) includes: Pulse Echo (Pits and Flaws), Echo Echo (Paint Through) and Pulse Echo with Coating (Combined). The single film probe option of DAKOTA UMX-2 uses Triple Echo (TCG) mode for coated and uncoated general applications. While not suitable for blind corrosion inspection, this option provides good linearity for general purpose applications.

The calibration section contains 8 common pre-programmed material types and 1 custom user-programmable option. Connect the UMX-2 to your PC and program it with our DakView3 utility software.

Our UMX-2 stores up to 5,000 readings in various configurations. File structure options include: sequential and alphanumeric grid formats with automatic identifiers. Each measurement stored also saves a copy of the UMX-2 current settings as well as the A-Scan waveform.
