Magnetic Pull-Off Coating Thickness Gage
DeFelsko - PosiPen. PosiPen has a very small, unique magnet which can be placed with pin-point accuracy on extremely small parts, and on peaks and valleys. Ideal for measuring non-magnetic coatings such as paint, enamel, plating, and hot-dip galvanizing on steel. Each PosiPen has two scales, mils (inch) and microns (metric).
Simple
Lightweight - easy to carry, just like a ballpoint pen
DurableRugged - not affected by mechanical shock, acid, oil, water and dust
Accurate
Highly wear resistant probe tip for long life and continuous accuracy
Used For:
Small, hot or hard-to-reach surfaces
Spot Checks - conveniently fits in a shirt pocket
Hot Sprayed Coatings
Ideal For:
Refineries, petrochemical plants
Platers - electroplating, chrome, zinc, galvanizing
Powder coaters
How It Works?
1. Place the tip of the PosiPen on the coated surface and allow the magnet to contact.
2. Pull the PosiPen straight back from the object to be measured while keeping close watch on the appropriate indicator.
3. Note the reading when the magnet releases.
DeFelsko - PosiPen comes complete with leather pouch, instructions, and Long Form Certificate of Calibration traceable to PTB.
What is Coating Thickness?
Coating thickness or dry film thickness (DFT) is an important variable that plays a role in product quality, process control, and cost control. Measurement of film thickness can be accomplished by selecting the best mil gage for the particular application.
Why Dry Film Thickness Measurement is Important
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 a tight DFT range as specified by the manufacturer. Correct thickness ensures optimum product performance. Even the most basic specification will require DFT to be measured.
The Measure of Quality
Regular film thickness measurement helps control material costs, manage application efficiency, maintain finish quality and ensure compliance with contract specifications. Paint manufacturers recommend target ranges to achieve optimum performance characteristics and clients expect these parameters to be met.
