Posi­Tec­tor DPM, Dew Point Meter

Posi­Tec­tor DPM new dew point meter bring a new level of con­fi­dence to the paint­ing con­trac­tor and inspec­tor.

The PosiTector DPM measures and records critical environmental conditions for professional inspection, including humidity, temperature, dew point, and wind speed. It ensures safe coating applications and complies with ISO and ASTM standards.

The PosiTector DPM is a dew point meter designed for professional inspection and environmental control in surface preparation and coating applications. It accurately measures relative humidity, air temperature, surface temperature, dew point, wind speed, and temperature differential, fully complying with international standards such as ISO 8502-4, ASTM D3276, SSPC-PA7, and US Navy NSI 009-32.

It is an essential tool for technicians, inspectors, and industries where weather conditions determine application quality and process safety.

What is the PosiTector DPM and what is it used for?

The Defelsko PosiTector DPM allows real-time measurement, recording, and analysis of all critical environmental parameters before painting or coating. With high-precision sensors, it provides reliable data to ensure proper conditions and prevent premature failures.

It includes NIST-traceable certification and is compatible with the full PosiTector interchangeable platform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does it differ from the PosiTector SPG?
The PosiTector DPM measures environmental conditions, while:

  • PosiTector SPG measures surface profile. Each covers a different inspection phase.

Does it comply with international inspection standards?
Yes, it meets ISO 8502-4, ASTM D3276, SSPC-PA7, IMO PSPC, US Navy NSI 009-32, and more.

Can it be used outdoors or in harsh conditions?
Yes, its IP65 housing, protective cover, and rubber grip make it ideal for construction sites, marine, or industrial use.

How are data connected and downloaded?
Via USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth using the free PosiSoft software or a mobile device.

Which model should I choose, Standard or Advanced?

  • Standard is sufficient for routine inspections.

  • Advanced is ideal if you need to store thousands of readings, generate reports, or work with wireless connectivity.
