PosiTest DFT coating thickness gage
DeFelsko’s PosiTest DFT coating thickness gauge measures coating thickness on a variety of metal substrates. The company says its features include a fast measurement speed of over 60 readings per minute, onscreen averaging for up to 99 readings, a high contrast color LCD, and an auto rotating display with lock to prevent unintended rotations. The gauge is available in two models — ferrous for measuring coatings on steel and combo for measuring coatings on all metals. DeFelsko says the unit has strong, wear-resistant, ruby-tipped probes and no calibration adjustment is required for most applications. It is designed for powder coaters, paint applicators, inspectors and more.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #121: Development of a Sustainability Metrics System and a Technical Solution Method for Sustainable Metal Finishing: 5th Quarterly Report
The NASF Research Board has funded a research grant at Wayne State University on sustainability in the surface finishing industry, under the direction of Professor Yinlun Huang. The objective of the work is to create a surface-finishing-specific sustainability metrics system to measure economic, environmental and social sustainability. In this report, he describes how such a tool can work to benefit our industry. The reader is invited to contact Dr. Huang in identifying plating shops willing to participate in this program; it is not too late.
