How does a PosiTector 6000 work?

How does a PosiTector 6000 work?

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.

What is a PosiTector?

The rugged, fully electronic PosiTector 6000 Paint Thickness Gage uses magnetic and eddy current principles to measure paint thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, accurately and quickly.

How do you charge a PosiTector?

Battery Type Selects the type of batteries used in the PosiTector body from a choice of “Alkaline”, “Lithium” or “NiMH” (Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable). If NiMH is selected, the PosiTector will trickle charge the batteries while connected via USB to a PC or optional AC charger.

How do I reset my PosiTector 6000?

For issues related to the PosiTector Advanced Gage Body:

1. Perform a Hard Reset* as follows: A) Power down the Gage and wait 5 seconds. B) Simultaneously press and hold the (+) and center buttons until the Reset symbol appears.
2. Update your PosiTector gage body and re-attempt measurements.

What is a PosiTector kit?

PosiTector® Inspection Kits contain a PosiTector gage body (Standard or Advanced) and 3 probes – coating thickness (Ferrous Only or Combination Ferrous Non-Ferrous), environmental dew point and surface profile, as well as accessories in a convenient hard shell carrying case.

How is paint thickness measured?

Two measurements must be taken: one with the coating in place and the other without. The difference between the two readings, the height variation, is taken to be the coating thickness. On rough surfaces, micrometers measure coating thickness above the highest peak.

What is DFT gauge?

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 the DFT range as specified by the manufacturer.

What is mils in paint thickness?

In the U.S. the thickness of paint is expressed in mils (one mil equals 1/1000 of inch). The rest of the world expresses coating thickness in microns (1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter and 25.4 microns = . 001” inch or 1 mil).
