Coating Thickness Measurement Gauges

Why Dry Film Thickness Measurement is Important

Dry film thickness (DFT) or coating thickness is arguably the single most important measurement made during the application and inspection of protective coatings. Coatings are designed to perform their intended function when applied within the DFT range as specified by the manufacturer. Correct paint thickness ensures optimum product performance. Even the most basic specification will require DFT to be measured.

PosiTector 6000

The rugged, fully electronic PosiTector 6000 Coating Thickness Gage uses magnetic and eddy current principles to measure coating thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, accurately and quickly.

PosiTector 200

The PosiTector 200 Ultrasonic Coating Thickness gage non-destructively measures a wide variety of applications using proven ultrasound technology.

Measure paint and coating thickness over wood, concrete, plastic, and more. Advanced models measure up to 3 layers with graphics.

PosiTest DFT

The PosiTest DFT Dry Film Thickness Gage measures paint and other coatings on metal substrates.

 

It is the economical choice that retains the uncompromising quality of DeFelsko coating thickness and inspection instruments.

PosiTest PC

The PosiTest PC Powder Checker affordably measures uncured powder coatings using non-contact ultrasonic technology to predict a cured thickness.

PosiTest F/FM/G/GM

PosiTest magnetic pull-off thickness gage (banana gauge) for the non-destructive measurement of non-magnetic coatings (paint, enamel, galvanizing, metalizing, plating, etc.) on steel.

PosiPen

PosiPen has a very small, unique magnet which can be placed with pin-point accuracy on extremely small parts, and on peaks and valleys.

 

Ideal for measuring non-magnetic coatings such as paint, enamel, plating, and hot-dip galvanizing on steel.

DeFelsko Powder Comb

Check powder thickness with the DeFelsko Powder Comb before curing to help ensure correctly cured film thickness the first time through the line. Avoid stripping and re-coating which can cause problems with adhesion and coatings integrity.

Wet Film Gauges

Notched Wet Film Thickness Gages measure the thickness of paint, enamels, and other wet films quickly and accurately.

PosiTest PG

The PosiTest PG Paint Inspection Gage

measures the thickness of one or multiple layers of coating on any substrate using a proven destructive technique.
