Innovative Product of the Year Winner
DeFelsko Corporation
DeFelsko’s PosiTector®
Interchangeable
Probes for inspection
instruments has been
named a Materials
Performance Corrosion
Innovation of the Year.
The American designed and manufactured
PosiTector body accepts all interchangeable
probes including coating thickness (6000/
200/PC), environmental (DPM), surface profile
(RTR/SPG), and ultrasonic wall thickness
(UTG) probes.
Winners were announced at the recent
Corrosion 2014, NACE International’s
leading corrosion conference and expo.
This innovation allows quick and easy
conversion from a coating thickness gauge
to a surface profile gauge, dew point meter or
ultrasonic wall thickness gauge with a simple
probe change. Each probe retains its own
unique calibration information allowing for
full probe interchangeability, an industry first.
David Beamish, DeFelsko President, was
on hand to proudly accept the award on
behalf of the entire DeFelsko staff located in
Ogdensburg, New York. “We are very honored
that a panel of leading experts in the field of
corrosion chose our interchangeable PosiTector
probes as the most innovative product,”
said Beamish, “A sincere thank you to all
who voted for us as we continue to pioneer
new instrumentation for inspectors.”
The MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year
Awards showcase progressive technological
developments in all aspects of corrosion
prevention and mitigation and recognize the
innovators who have created revolutionary
solutions to combat corrosion and protect
vital assets from its damaging effects.
