Simple, Durable Thickness Gauge for Everyday Industrial Use

The ZX-1 Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is a straightforward, fixed-velocity gauge designed for fast, accurate measurements on materials with known sound velocities. Ideal for routine inspections, this cost-effective unit delivers consistent performance without requiring specialized training or complex setup.

Its rugged aluminum housing and intuitive controls make the ZX-1 a reliable choice for technicians working in demanding field conditions. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, they deliver reliable performance to meet or exceed application requirements. Whether used in fabrication, maintenance, or basic wall thickness monitoring, the ZX-1 is built to provide dependable results day after day.

The ZX-1 ultrasonic thickness gauge is ideal for:

  • Routine thickness measurements on known materials
  • Preventive maintenance inspections in manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, and marine industries
  • Basic corrosion screening of tanks, pipes, and flat surfaces
  • Quality assurance checks in fabrication shops
  • Educational and training labs for introducing ultrasonic testing principles
