Yes, the PosiTest GM analog gauge includes a NIST calibration certificate and a soft carrying case. It measures non-magnetic coatings on steel substrates from 0 to 8 mil with an accuracy of ±0.04 mil up to 0.8 mil and ±5% over 0.8 mil. The analog display provides a simple, direct reading without the need for batteries or electronic components. It is a mechanical gauge that uses a permanent magnet and a calibrated spring to determine coating thickness. The certificate ensures traceability for quality control documentation.

What probe styles are available for DeFelsko PosiTector coating thickness gauges?

DeFelsko PosiTector coating thickness gauges are available with integral, cabled, and separate probe styles. Integral probes are built into the gauge body, such as the FN3 and FN1 models. Cabled probes, like the FS1-E, have a cable connecting the probe to the body, allowing measurement in confined spaces. Separate probes are also available for specialized applications. The PosiTector platform allows users to interchange probes with different body styles (standard or advanced) without replacing the entire gauge. This modularity enables one body to be used with multiple probe types for different substrates and measurement ranges.
