Paul N. Gardner Gages Measure Coating Thickness on Variety of Metals

Two models of the PosiTest DFT II coating thickness gage 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.

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.
