PosiTest DFT

The Defelsko PosiTest DFT allows coating thickness measurement on all metals with 1 µm precision, quickly and easily.

The PosiTest DFT thickness gauge is an affordable and compact solution for measuring coating thickness on all metals, with 1 micron precision and a range of 0 to 1000 µm. Ideal for inspectors, paint applicators, and quality control laboratories.

What models are available?

• PosiTest DFT Ferrous: Measures non-magnetic coatings on steel.
• PosiTest DFT Combo: Measures non-magnetic coatings on steel and non-conductive coatings on aluminum, brass, and other metals.

Both models are fast, reliable, and easy to use.
