How does a PosiTector 6000 work?

The PosiTector 6000 probes calculate coating thickness measurements using either the magnetic principle(F probes – ferrous models) or the eddy current principle (N probes – non-ferrous models). Combination FN probes (ferrous/non-ferrous) use both principles.

How do I reset my PosiTector 6000?

Simultaneously press and hold the (+) and center buttons until the Reset symbol appears. Update your PosiTector gage body and re-attempt measurements.

How do I calibrate my PosiTector 200?

Taking measurements with the PosiTector 200 is easy. First, it is recommended to zero the probe- simply clean the probe tip, hold it in the air, and select ‘Zero’ from the calibration menu. Unlike magnetic or eddy current gages, there is no need to measure on the uncoated substrate.

What is DFT gauge?

Dry film thickness (DFT) or coating thickness is arguably the single most important measurement made during the application and inspection of protective coatings. Coatings are designed to perform their intended function when applied within the DFT range as specified by the manufacturer.

What is TS TD?

Ts-Td – the difference between. surface and dew point temperatures.

How do you zero a PosiTector 200?

How does coating thickness gauge work?

The coating thickness gauge works according to the magnetic inductive (ISO 2178) and the eddy current method (ISO 2360). These methods supported by the coating thickness gauge are used for the non-destructive testing of materials. The coating thickness gauge is a versatile measuring device.

How is coating thickness calculated?

film thickness needs to be using some simple mathematical formulae:

1. Wet Film Thickness.
2. =
3. Dry Film Thickness x 100.
4. % Volume Solids.
5. Spreading Rate (m2/litre) =
6. % Volume Solids x 10.
7. DFT Required.

What does TD stand for hurricane?

What information is stored for each point along the way? [Information about air pressure, wind speed, and ocean temperature is stored.] – All hurricanes start as tropical depressions (TD).

What kind of probes can a defelsko positectorbody accept?

The PosiTectorbody accepts a wide variety of probe types including magnetic, eddy current and ultrasonic coating thickness, surface profile,environmental, Shore hardness durometer, salt contamination and ultrasonic wall thickness probes. See www.defelsko.com/probes

What does the positector 6000 FNDS probe measure?

The PosiTector 6000 FNDS probe measures the individual thicknesses of both the paint and the zinc layers in a duplex coating system with a single reading. Duplex coating systems use a combination of two corrosion protection systems – typically paint or powder coating over galvanized steel (hot-dip, electro or zinc spray metallizing).

What do you need to know about the positector 6000?

The PosiTector 6000 hand-held, electronic instrument non-destructively measures the thickness of coatings on metals, quickly and accurately. It consists of a body (Standard or Advanced) and probe (Built-in or Separate). F probes use the magnetic principle to measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metals.
