There is a familiar type of Thickness Gauge in the coating Thickness Gauge industry, called McCourt Coating Thickness Gauge, also known as Banana Thickness Gauge. The more famous one is EPK’s MiKroTest series, which is a mechanical coating Thickness Gauge. Layer Thickness Gauge, without power supply, and can also be used for underwater thickness measurement, with explosion-proof function.
Defelsko, as another well-known brand in the field of Thickness Gauges, also produces this kind of McCourt coating Thickness Gauge--PosiTest series, all of which adopt the principle of magnetic thickness measurement. The PosiTest series is based on the measured thickness unit and measurement The range is divided into four different models: PosiTest FM, PosiTest G, PosiTest GM, PosiTest F, with two ranges of 0~200μm and 0~2000μm, and the accuracy is ±1μm and ±5μm respectively.
Let's learn about this coating Thickness Gauge through the real pictures of PosiTest taken by NBCHAO.

This is the appearance of the PosiTest G-type coating Thickness Gauge. In fact, the appearance of the four models is the same, except that the letters and scale ranges of the dial are different, and the other structures are exactly the same. There is a measurement button and a wheel above the Thickness Gauge, through which the thickness of the coating is measured. The side shell is textured and waterproof/acid/solvent.

The above two pictures are the front view and the back view of the instrument. The size of the whole instrument is relatively small, and the structural design is very simple. It can be directly tested without installing batteries, and does not need to be calibrated. The corresponding calibration has been done at the factory.

We can see from the figure that the probe of the Defelsko PosiTest coating Thickness Gauge is designed with a V-shaped groove shell, which is very suitable for the positioning measurement of circular main body samples, and the contact head is made of wear-resistant hard alloy steel material with long-lasting magnetism. It is very suitable for thickness measurement in underwater, curved cylinder, flammable and explosive scenes.

Defelsko's packaging design for the PosiTest coating Thickness Gauge is also quite nice. It is packed in a special leather bag, which can prevent it from being directly placed in the carton and receive bumps during transportation, and is also convenient for the instrument. Storage and storage. And each Thickness Gauge is equipped with a corresponding calibration certificate, the quality and accuracy are guaranteed.
