Key parameters
Fits thin-substrate precision ultrasonic thickness work — stamping, aircraft skins, automotive sheet, and thin plastics — with ThruPaint delay-line modes, 0.01 mm resolution, and 10,000-reading sequential datalogging.
Key advantages
- Thin-material focus — Single-element transducers 5–20 MHz; delay-line ThruPaint capability
- Modes / ranges — PE 0.63–914.4 mm; EE delay 0.152–25.4 mm; EE contact 1–152.4 mm; IE 1.524–25.4 mm; PLAS 0.127–6.35 mm
- Resolution — 0.01 mm (0.001 in)
- Logging — Sequential storage: 40 files × 250 readings = 10,000 readings
- Field form — Compact 63.5 × 131 × 31.5 mm; ~312 g; 2× AA; −10 to 60 °C
Typical applications
- Precision machining and stamping thickness checks
- Aircraft and automotive thin-metal inspection
- Thin plastics where PLAS mode is specified
- QC stations needing hi/lo alarm, differential, and high-speed scan
Selection guide
- Transducer — Single-element 5–20 MHz; standard pack includes 1/4 in delay-line transducer with 3/8 in & 1/2 in tips
- Calibration — One-point calibration to material; velocity 309.88–18,542 m/s
- Display — 12.7 mm high digits; 25 Hz refresh; backlight on/off/auto
- Part number — Z-308-0002 (PZX1-DL / PZX-7DL)
- Standards — Factory calibration traceable to NIST & MIL-STD-45662A
Common mistakes
- Ordering a dual-element corrosion gauge (ZX/CMX) when thin delay-line precision is required
- Assuming PE range applies in EE delay mode — thin EE windows are much shorter
- Skipping delay-tip length selection for the thinnest substrates
- Expecting A-Scan waveform display — PZX1-DL is digits-focused precision gauge
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Material, min thickness, and PE vs EE delay vs PLAS primary mode
- Transducer/tip preference, logging need, quantity
- Ship-to country

FAQ
Q: Is PZX1-DL for corrosion surveys? A: It is a precision single-element gauge for thin substrates; dual-element corrosion ThruPaint work is typically ZX6-DL or CMX series.
Q: What thin-range mode should I pick? A: EE delay-line for thin metals through paint/coatings; PLAS for thin plastics — name material and min thickness on the RFQ.
Q: What should I send for a quote? A: Material/min thickness, mode, transducer preference, quantity, ship-to. Compatible with systems using Dakota PZX1-DL — we do not claim authorized-dealer status.
