DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 Coating Thickness Gauge
The DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 is a premier, American-made dry film coating thickness gauge engineered for non-destructive inspection across all metal substrates. Utilizing magnetic induction for ferrous metals and eddy currents for non-ferrous substrates, it features an IP65-rated weatherproof enclosure, interchangeable probe modularity, and compliance with ISO 2808, SSPC-PA 2, and ASTM D7091 standards.
Features & Benefits
-
Interchangeable Modular Probe Platform: Connects to the full range of PosiTector 6000 regular, micro, separate, and high-temperature probes, as well as surface profile (SPG/RTR) and environmental (DPM) sensors.
-
Dual Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Substrate Compatibility: Available in dedicated ferrous (F), non-ferrous (N), or automatic combination (FN/FNS) probes that auto-detect the base material.
-
Rugged IP65 Weatherproof Housing: Sealed against rain, airborne blast dust, water spray, and solvents, backed by a shock-absorbing rubber holster.
-
Certified International Metrology Compliance: Complies fully with ASTM D7091, ISO 2808, ISO 19840, SSPC-PA 2, and AS/NZS 1580.108.1 standards.
-
Integrated SSPC-PA 2 & ISO Prompting Modes: Advanced models guide inspectors through official conformance standards with automated spot-averaging logic.
-
Comprehensive PosiSoft Software Suite: Connects via USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth to sync batches directly to free PosiSoft Desktop, PosiSoft.net cloud, or mobile apps for rapid report generation.
Description
Recognized globally across industrial painting facilities, shipyards, powder-coating plants, and structural steel fabricators, the DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 provides high-precision dry film thickness (DFT) measurements on ferrous (steel/iron) and non-ferrous (aluminum, copper, stainless steel) surfaces. The platform is built around an interchangeable probe architecture: a single PosiTector gage body accepts all PosiTector 6000 coating thickness probes—including standard integral sensors, cabled right-angle probes, micro-probes, and ultra-thick protective coating sensors—as well as other PosiTector probe families (surface profile, dew point, hardness, and ultrasonic wall thickness).
