DeFelsko Device Predicts Cured Thickness
Powder checker uses non-contact ultrasound technology to predict a cured thickness to help ensure adequate coverage and reduce waste.
DeFelsko manufactures a variety of inspection instruments, including the PosiTector, PosiTest and PosiPen. According to the company, the PosiTector series of interchangeable probes measure coating thickness, surface profile, environmental conditions, salt contamination, hardness, wall thickness and concrete moisture. The PosiTest PC Powder Checker measures uncured powder coatings using non-contact ultrasound technology to predict a cured thickness, which helps to ensure adequate coverage and reduce waste. It is designed as a stand-alone unit, which the company says makes it faster and easier to use, especially on moving parts and challenging geometries.
