Description
PosiTest® DFT – Coating Thickness Gauge for Metal Substrates
The PosiTest® DFT is a durable and easy-to-use coating thickness gauge designed for accurate measurements on metal surfaces. It’s available in two models to suit different needs — Ferrous and Combo.
1. PosiTest® DFT Ferrous
Measures non-magnetic coatings such as paint or powder on ferrous metals (steel and iron).
Features:
-
Designed for ferrous (magnetic) metal substrates.
-
Fast measurement rate – over 60 readings per minute.
-
Ready to measure – no calibration required for most applications.
-
Zero or 1-point calibration for special surfaces.
-
Wear-resistant ruby-tipped probe ensures durability and accuracy.
-
Bright, auto-rotating display for easy reading in all environments.
-
Includes Certificate of Calibration traceable to PTB (Long Form).
-
Complies with standards: ISO 2178, ASTM B499, ASTM D7091, and others.
Specifications:
-
Measurement Range: 0–40 mils (0–1000 μm)
-
Accuracy: ±(0.1 mils + 3%) or ±(2 μm + 3%)
-
Size: 108 × 43 × 20 mm
-
Weight: 54 g (without batteries)
2. PosiTest® DFT Combo
Measures coatings on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper, etc.).
Features:
-
Automatically identifies the substrate type (ferrous or non-ferrous).
-
Fast and precise — 60+ readings per minute.
-
No calibration needed for most jobs.
-
Optional calibration adjustment for special coatings or shapes.
-
Rugged ruby-tipped probe and bright rotating display.
-
USB and battery powered for convenience.
-
Certified accuracy with PTB traceable calibration.
-
Meets ISO, ASTM, and SSPC international standards.
