PosiTest

Magnetic Thickness Gages for Non-Magnetic Coatings on Steel

Model No. :

Brand : Defelsko

The PosiTest magnetic pull-off gauge, often referred to as a “banana gauge,” is the definitive, robust instrument for non-destructively measuring non-magnetic coatings on steel. It is a highly accurate mechanical device that requires no electrical power, providing dependable service in the harshest industrial conditions.

Measures $non$ – $magnetic$ $coatings$ $on$ $ferrous$ $metals$ $only$
$Mechanical$ $operation$ $requires$ $no$ $batteries$ $or$ $electronics$
$Rugged$ $housing$ $resists$ $mechanical$ $shock$ , $acid$ , $and$ $water$

FAQs

Is $the$ $PosiTest$ $intrinsically$ $safe$ $for$ $hazardous$ $environments$ ?

$The$ $PosiTest$ $does$ $not$ $require$ $Intrinsically$ $Safe$ $certification$ $because$ $its$ $design$ $is$ $fully$ $mechanical$ $(non$ – $electronic)$ $and$ $cannot$ $generate$ $sparks$ . $It$ $is$ $suitable$ $for$ $use$ $in$ $potentially$ $hazardous$ $locations$ .

Does $the$ $PosiTest$ $measure$ $on$ $non$ – $ferrous$ $metals$ $like$ $aluminum$ $or$ $brass$ ?

No, $the$ $PosiTest$ $is$ $a$ $magnetic$ $pull$ – $off$ $instrument$ $and$ $can$ $only$ $measure$ $non$ – $magnetic$ $coatings$ $on$ $ferrous$ $(steel)$ $metal$ $substrates$ .

How $does$ $the$ $PosiTest$ $compare$ $to$ $the$ $PosiPen$ $gauge$ ?

The $PosiTest$ $offers$ $superior$ $accuracy$ $and$ $ease$ – $of$ – $use$ $due$ $to$ $its$ $larger$ $dial$ $and$ $ability$ $to$ $hold$ $the$ $reading$ $after$ $the$ $magnet$ $releases$ . $The$ $PosiPen$ $is$ $better$ $suited$ $for$ $extremely$ $small$ , $hot$ , $or$ $hard$ – $to$ – $reach$ $surfaces$ .

Can $the$ $PosiTest$ $be$ $used$ $for$ $measurements$ $on$ $submerged$ $parts$ $or$ $underwater$ ?

Yes, $the$ $PosiTest$ $features$ $corrosion$ – $resistant$ $brass$ $construction$ $and$ $can$ $be$ $immersed$ $in$ $fresh$ $or$ $saltwater$ . $It$ $is$ $recommended$ $to$ $rinse$ $with$ $freshwater$ $after$ $use$ $in$ $saltwater$ .

How $do$ $I$ $compensate$ $for$ $surface$ $roughness$ $when$ $using$ $the$ $PosiTest$ ?

$The$ $best$ $practice$ $is$ $to$ $establish$ $a$ $Base$ $Metal$ $Reading$ $(BMR)$ $by$ $averaging$ $several$ $measurements$ $on$ $an$ $uncoated$ $section$ $of$ $the$ $substrate$ . $This$ $BMR$ $is$ $then$ $subtracted$ $from$ $the$ $coated$ $measurements$ $to$ $determine$ $the$ $true$ $thickness$ $over$ $the$ $peaks$ $of$ $the$ $rough$ $surface$ .
