DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 FS1 Coating Thickness Gage

DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 FS1 Coating Thickness Gage

In the steel structure, shipbuilding, mechanical fabrication, and electroplating industries, controlling the thickness of anti-corrosive primers and protective coatings on steel and iron substrates is a mandatory step to ensure quality and structural lifespan. However, not every enterprise requires overly complex graphical data logging features. The DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 FS1 coating thickness gage stands as the perfect cost-effective solution – delivering the absolute accuracy of American technology with a minimalist, user-friendly interface and the most optimized investment cost.

Overview of PosiTector 6000 FS1

The DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 FS1 (Standard) is researched and manufactured entirely in the USA by DeFelsko – the world’s leading trustworthy brand in surface inspection instrumentation. This intelligently streamlined equipment kit includes:

• PosiTector Standard Gage Body: Features a sharp color display screen with a user-friendly interface, focusing on rapidly displaying data and basic statistical parameters without requiring complex configurations.
• Specialized FS Series Probe: Converts magnetic induction principles to precisely measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings (such as paint, plastic, galvanizing, chrome plating, ceramic enamel, and rubber) on magnetic metal substrates (iron, steel, cast iron).

The instrument fully complies with rigorous international validation standards such as ISO 2178, ISO 2808, ASTM D1186, and ASTM D7091.

Key Features of DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 FS1

💡 Specialized FS Series Probe – Ultra-Sensitive Response

The FS series probe is connected to the gage body via a flexible extended cable, enabling technicians to easily maneuver and execute measurements in tight areas, confined corners, underneath storage tanks, or along the internal surfaces of pipelines. The probe features exceptionally high sensitivity, yielding precise results even on rough steel surfaces after abrasive grit blasting.

💡 Streamlined Standard Gage Body with Easy Operation

Unlike the Advanced tier oriented toward advanced graphical data logging, the Standard version of the FS1 optimizes workflow performance in the simplest manner:

• Intuitive Color Screen: Integrates an auto-rotating display functionality, making it easy to read parameters from any difficult measuring posture.
• 1,000-Reading Storage Memory: Effortlessly logs measurement results for on-site field acceptance audits throughout the day at factory floors or job sites.
• Real-Time Statistics: The gage continuously updates and displays core values directly on the screen, including: Average, Maximum (Max), Minimum (Min), and Standard Deviation (Stg Dev).

💡 Shock-Absorbing Rubber Holster Design with Outstanding Weather Resistance

The gage body is robustly protected by a premium shock-absorbing rubber holster featuring high impact resistance. The device conforms to the IP65 weatherproofing standard to protect against water and dust entry, ensuring durable performance in oily mechanical machine shops or windy and dusty field environments.

💡 Simple Computer Connectivity and Data Exporting

DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 FS1 comes equipped with a built-in USB port. Technicians can simply connect the instrument directly to a computer to transfer data via the manufacturer’s free PosiSoft software, making quality record management or field acceptance reporting for partners quick and professional.
