Product Description

The DeFelsko Positector FNDS3-G Duplex Advanced Coating Thickness Gauge, 60 mils is a precise, rugged tester designed to measure coating thickness on all metals accurately and quickly using magnetic or eddy current principles. 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). The resultant corrosion protection is superior to either protection system used independently. In Duplex mode, the PosiTector 6000 FNDS utilizes both magnetic (ferrous) and eddy current (non-ferrous) principles simultaneously to calculate and display the individual paint and zinc layer thicknesses. The magnetic principle is used to measure the combined paint/zinc thickness over the ferrous substrate, and the eddy current principle is used to measure the paint thickness over the non-ferrous zinc coating. The zinc thickness is calculated by subtracting the paint thickness from the combined paint/zinc thickness measurement. The Positector 6000 FNDS3 Advanced Coating Thickness Gauge features a large 2.8" impact resistant color touchscreen with redesigned keypad for quick menu navigation, 250,000 in up to 1000 groups memory reading storage capacity, USB data output, Scan Mode, Real-Time Graphing Bluetooth output and more.
