TESTING & MEASUREMENT Updated 'PosiTector® PC Powder Checker' launched by DeFelsko The new generation ‘PosiTector PC Powder Checker’ from DeFelsko measures uncured powder coatings, using ultrasonic technology to automatically calculate and display a predicted cured thickness. The gauge helps to control powder consumption to ensure adequate coverage and reduce waste. The updated instrument features a colour LCD, an expanded internal memory and free access to the company's suite of ‘PosiSoft’ software. It continually displays/updates basic statistics and automatically generates formatted reports with measurement summaries and charts. Notably, the PosiTector PC now accepts all PosiTector probes, easily converting from measuring uncured powder to cured dry film thickness, surface profile and other functions. DeFelsko also provides cost-saving ‘Powder Inspection Kits’, which create a complete solution for measuring powder coatings before and after cure with the same PosiTector gauge body and two interchangeable probes. www.defelsko.com DeFelsko Corporation is 'Innovative Product of the Year' winner ‘PosiTector®’ interchangeable probes from DeFelsko have been named a Materials Performance ‘Corrosion Innovation of the Year’ for inspection instruments. The US-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. 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 in
