PosiTector 6000 Coating Thickness Gauge

1. Product description

The DeFelsko (USA) PosiTector 6000 series gauges non-destructively measure non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates (such as steel and iron) and insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals (such as copper and aluminium). Readings can be displayed continuously at the same spot, for accurate, repeatable measurement.

2. Features

1. Versatile

① Universal gauge body accepts all PosiTector 6000, 200, SPG, DPM and UTG probes, easily converting from a coating thickness gauge to a surface profile gauge, dew point meter or ultrasonic thickness gauge

② A choice of calibration: 1-point, 2-point, known-thickness, and zero offset

③ A choice of display languages, including Chinese

④ High-contrast backlit display for bright or dim conditions

⑤ Display can be flipped for upside-down viewing

⑥ With special configurations, the probe cable can be extended up to 75 m for remote measurement

2. Simple

① Ready to measure – no calibration needed in most cases

② One-handed menu operation

③ Flashing display – for noisy environments

④ Reset function quickly restores factory settings

3. Durable

① Solvent, acid, oil, water and dust resistant – weatherproof

② Wear-resistant probe

③ Shock-absorbing rubber holster with belt clip

4. Accurate

① Every gauge comes with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST

② Built-in temperature compensation for accurate measurement

③ High-resolution mode increases display resolution for high-precision applications

④ Conforms to US and international standards, including ISO and ASTM

5. Powerful

① Continuously displays and updates the mean, standard deviation, min/max thickness and number of readings

② Screen capture – screen images can be saved for records and review

③ Audible and visible alarm when readings go outside the set limits

④ Fast mode – faster measuring for quick inspections

⑤ USB port for quick, easy connection to a PC, with continuous power; cable supplied

⑥ Software can be updated online

⑦ Connects to PosiTector.net

3. Gauge body features

1. Standard gauge body (also called type 1 or S):

① Monochrome transflective display, readable in sunlight

② Stores 250 readings for review or download

2. Advanced gauge body (also called type 3 or A):

① High-contrast reversible colour LCD

② Stores up to 100,000 readings in up to 1,000 batches and sub-batches

③ On-screen help, real-time graphing, picture assistance and more

④ Connects to printers or PCs by USB, WiFi and Bluetooth

⑤ Scan mode – measures continuously without lifting the probe

⑥ Stores multiple calibration settings for different substrates

⑦ SSPC-PA2 feature to check whether coating thickness over an area meets user-set minimum and maximum values

⑧ PSPC 90/10 feature to check whether a coating meets the IMO performance standard for protective coatings

3. SmartLink

With a probe fitted to SmartLink, readings can be taken and stored, annotated and more directly in the app, with no gauge body needed.
