Coating Thickness Gage

Coating thickness or dry film thickness (DFT) is an important variable that plays a role in product quality, process control, and cost control. Measurement of film thickness can be accomplished by selecting the best suitable gage for the particular application.

Regular film thickness measurement helps control material costs, manage application efficiency, maintain finish quality and ensure compliance with contract specifications. Paint manufacturers recommend target ranges to achieve optimum performance characteristics and clients expect these parameters to be met.

PosiTest ®

Magnetic Coating Thickness Gages for Non-Magnetic Coatings on Steel

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

• Highly wear resistant Carbide Probe for longest life and continuous accuracy
• Extra rugged housing, not affected by mechanical shock, water, acid or solvents
• Unique overall design, fully supported, positive positioning, no pivoting tendencies during measurement
• Positive visual and audible indicators to designate when thickness reading is established
• “V” grooves in probe housing and gage base allow correct positioning on cylindrical objects

PosiPen®

Magnetic Pull-Off Coating Thickness Gage

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.

• Can be used on small, hot or hard-to-reach surfaces
• Easy-to-Use
• Lightweight - easy to carry, just like a ball point pen
• Rugged - not affected by mechanical shock, acid, oil, water and dust
• No user adjustment required
• Highly wear resistant probe tip for long life and continuous accuracy

Powder Comb

Check Powder Thickness Before Curing to Ensure Correct Cured Film Thickness

Check Powder thickness with 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 coating integrity.

• Works on a variety of part sizes, shapes and substrates such as metal, plastic, wood, glass, and more
• Broad stand-offs on both sides of teeth help keep gage perpendicular to surface when measuring
• Precision gage; manufactured to a tolerance ±5 microns or ±0.0002 inch
• Protective leather pouch included with each gage
