Infrared Thermometer Provides Non-Contact Surface Measurement
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

Corrosion Resistance Testing for Powder Coating
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.
