The PosiTector IRT infrared thermometer from Paul N. Gardner Co. has a button-activated laser pointer for accurate targeting and two powerful modes designed to quickly analyze large areas.
The Scanning Statistics Mode records one reading per second; the HiLo Alarm compares results to user-specified limits and alerts the user when readings exceed those limits; and the Smart Trend indicators identify rising, falling or stable readings. Users can choose from seven preset material options, set a custom emissivity value or adjust to a known temperature.
The PosiTector body accepts all PosiTector IRT, DPM, 6000, 200, RTR, SPG, SST, SHD and UTG probes, easily converting from an infrared thermometer, to a dew point meter, coating thickness gage, surface profile gage, soluble salt tester, Shore hardness durometer or ultrasonic wall thickness gage.RELATED CONTENT

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.
