Two models of the PosiTest DFT II coating thickness gage from Paul N. Gardner are available: a ferrous version for measuring non-magnetic coatings on steel, and a combo version that can be used to measure both non-magnetic coatings on steel and non-conductive coatings on aluminum, brass and others.

Benefits include fast, repeatable measurements at rates of 60+ readings per minute; onscreen averaging for as many as 99 readings; a wear-resistant, ruby-tipped probe; a V-groove in probe for positioning on cylindrical parts; adjustable display brightness for optimal visibility; a simple, icon-based menu; and a reset feature when no zero reference is available.

    Salt spray can be useful to help compare different pretreatment methods and coatings but it does not tell us much about the corrosion resistance of a part over time in the field. Powder coating expert Rodger Talbert offers insights into how to get a better idea of how to improve a part’s corrosion resistance in the real world.
