Why is this measurement carried out?
Coating thickness, colour thickness or dry film thickness (DFT) is an important parameter that plays a role in product quality, process control and cost control. The coating thickness can be measured by selecting the best measuring device for the respective application.
For metals
Digital coating thickness gauge for all metal substrates with wired probe
PosiTector 6000
The robust, fully electronic PosiTector 6000 paint thickness gauge utilises magnetic and eddy current principles to accurately and quickly measure paint thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Complies with ISO 2178/2360/2808, ISO 19840, ASTM B244/B499/D1186/D1400/D7091/E376/G12, BS3900-C5, SSPC-PA2, US Navy NAVSEA PPI 63101-000, US Navy NAVSEA 009-32, AS 2331.1.4, AS3894.3-B, and others
PosiTest DFT coating thickness gauge for all metal substrates
PosiTest DFT
The PosiTest DFT dry film thickness gauge measures paints and other coatings on all metal substrates. It is the economical choice that maintains the uncompromising quality of DeFelsko coating thickness and testing equipment.
Complies with ISO 2178/2360/2808, ISO 19840, ASTM B244/B499/D7091/E376, BS3900-C5, SSPC-PA2 and other standards.
Mechanical-magnetic coating thickness gauge for non-magnetic coatings on steel
PosiTest
PosiTest magnetic peel-off thickness gauge (banana gauge) for non-destructive measurement of non-magnetic coatings (paint, enamel, galvanising, metallisation, plating, etc.) on steel.
Complies with ASTM D7091/B499, ISO 2808 and other standards.
Pin-shaped magnetic coating thickness gauge for steel
PosiPen
PosiPen has a very small, unique magnet that can be placed with pinpoint accuracy on extremely small parts as well as on protrusions and indentations. Ideal for measuring non-magnetic coatings such as paint, enamel, plating and hot-dip galvanising on steel.
Complies with ASTM D7091/B499, ISO 2808 and other standards.
Not metals
Ultrasonic colour coating thickness gauges for non-metal substrates
PosiTector 200
The PosiTector 200 ultrasonic coating thickness gauge non-destructively measures a variety of applications using proven ultrasonic technology. Measure the thickness of paint and coatings on wood, concrete, plastic and more. Advanced models measure up to 3 layers with graphics.
Complies with ASTM D6132 and ISO 2808 standards.
Non-contact powder thickness gauge for unhardened powder
PosiTest PC
The PosiTest PC Powder Checker cost-effectively measures uncured powder coatings using non-contact ultrasonic technology to predict the cured thickness.
Complies with ASTM D7378.
Powder comb for uncured powder layers on all substrates
Pulper comb PC
Check the thickness of the powder with the DeFelsko powder comb before curing to ensure that the coating thickness is correctly cured on the first pass through the system. Avoid peeling and recoating, which can lead to problems with adhesion and coating integrity.
Wet film thickness gauges for uncured paint film thicknesses on all substrates
Wet film combsPC
Wet film thickness gauges with notches measure the thickness of paints, varnishes and other wet films quickly and accurately.
Conforms to ISO 2808, ASTM D4414, AS/NZS 1580.107.3, JIS K 5600-1-7, NF T30-125, US NAVY NSI 009-32 and other standards.
Destructive
Destructive paint inspection
PosiTest PG
The PosiTest PG paint tester measures the thickness of one or more layers of paint on any substrate using a proven destructive technique.
Complies with ISO 2808/19399, ASTM D4138, JIS K 5600-1-7 and NF T30-123 standards
