The PosiTector® 6000 probe family – DeFelsko’s solution for non-destructive coating thickness measurement on metallic* substrates. This is the most extensive range of instrument probes that DeFelsko offers – many versions available for many different applications. Further details as follows:

• Familiar.  These interchangeable probes are compatible with the tried-and true DeFelsko Standard and Advanced Gauge Bodies.  In addition, all current versions can also be paired with the PosiTector SmartLink / mobile app platform. (Compatibility chart available under the document tab to confirm compatibility on older gages.)
• Versatile.  Checks coating thickness in many applications, including:
  • Single-handed use (integral probes)
  • Cabled probes in various lengths
  • Hot / Rugged applications
  • Very thin to very thick coatings
  • and more!

This page shows probes only.  Compare package options including DeFelsko 6000 Standard Gages and DeFelsko 6000 Advanced Bodies. 

Probes – not the Gage / Bodies – are factory calibrated and each new probe comes with a Certificate of Calibration.  For field calibration checks, certified or non-certified standards are available separately (see You May Also Like below.)  Contact us for information on probe repairs or probe re-certifications.

*The DeFelsko PosiTector 200 is available for measuring coating thickness on non-metallic substrates.

• Ideal for use on small, hot or hard-to-reach surfaces
• Compact – the size of a ball-point pen
• Rugged – unaffected by mechanical shock, acid,  oil, water and dust
• No user adjustment needed
• Wear-resistant probe tip ensures long life and reliable accuracy

BlastOne offers all DeFelsko products, including testing instruments, their accessories, and related supplies.

This group of mechanical gauges use rare-earth cobalt magnets to manually measure coating thickness on ferrous substrates. Additional information:

• Simple.  Straightforward and able to be used in any orientation.
• Capable.  Scales available in both mils and microns, and in 2 thickness ranges.  Can measure coatings on cylindrical surfaces too.  Go / No-Go button can be set for rapid measurement.
• Sturdy.  Wear-resistant carbide probe and rugged housing for years of service.

Thickness Standards are used to verify the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gauges.  As a component of ISO 9000 or in-house quality control procedures, they are a practical alternative to sending instruments to DeFelsko for calibration.

These Plastic Shims (aka foils) are low-cost alternative to coated metal plates.  They are available in Certified (individual shims or full sets) and in Un-Certified sets.  Accuracy is somewhat less than metal plates and they are more sensitive to heat. They are intended for use over a Zero Plate, or over an uncoated substrate.

A set of un-certified plastic shims is included with most electronic DeFelsko coating thickness gauges.  Replacement sets and certified options are available here as follows:

• Un-Certified.  These are checked for accuracy within tolerance shown below at DeFelsko, but are not traceable to any standard. They come as a set of 5 only, in the following approximate thicknesses:
  • 25 microns / 1 mil (Orange), +- 20% accuracy
  • 50 microns / 2 mils (Red), +- 10% accuracy
  • 125 microns / 5 mils (Blue), +- 5% accuracy
  • 250 microns / 10 mils (Brown), +- 5% accuracy
  • 500 microns / 20 mils (Yellow), +- 5% accuracy
• Certified.  Includes certificate of calibration traceable to PTB and all are accurate to within 2 microns / 0.08 mils.  Available in the following thicknesses individually, or as a complete set of 8 shims:
  • 25 microns / 1 mil (Orange)
  • 50 microns / 2 mils (Red)
  • 75 microns / 3 mils (Green)
  • 125 microns / 5 mils (Blue)
  • 250 microns / 10 mils (Brown)
  • 500 microns / 20 mils (Yellow)
  • 1000 microns / 40 mils (White)
  • 1500 microns / 60 mils (Black)

Thickness standards are used to verify the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gauges.  As a component of ISO 9000 or in-house quality control procedures, they are a practical alternative to sending instruments to DeFelsko for calibration.

DeFelsko offers various solutions for this process and this group of products is their premium version comprised of 4 Certified polystyrene blocks, intended for probes that measure thick coatings (60 mils / 1500 microns and up)

• Cooler running.  With the unique fan shape of the backing, run temperature is reduced, further extending disc life.
• Spin-on design.  The 5/8″-11 arbor allows quick and easy installation without the need of tools.

All common industrial versions are available including:

• Abrasive options.  Available with alumina zirconia, ceramic, or non-woven abrasive in either standard grain or coated with lubricant (cooler running, often used on stainless).
• Design types.  Offered in either convex angled (for curved work) or flat configurations.
• Thicknesses.  Choose from either standard or jumbo types.

Priced per each, with discounts available when purchased in box quantities of 10.

The PosiTector RTR family of instruments is DeFelsko’s state-of-the-art solution for surface profile measurement and more.  Two different probe models are available and selected features are listed below:

• Familiar.  Based on the award-winning PosiTector instrument body platform, the RTR probes are easy to master and use.
• Capable.  State-of-the-art technology with 2 models as follows:
  • PosiTector RTR H.  This 2D version measures surface profile using Testex tape just like a spring micrometer, but with the following enhancements:
    • Automatically compensates for the thickness of the Testex film backing.
    • Using conventional Testex Coarse or X-Coarse tape, the RTR H calculates linearized measurements automatically, without the complicated averaging process required by analog spring micrometers.
    • Stores readings which can be uploaded to PosiSoft, Mac, and smartphone software for professional reporting.  Of course, you can keep the physical replica tape as well.
    • Ready-to-measure.  No calibration adjustment required for most applications.
  • PosiTector RTR 3D.  This 2D / 3D version offers the same features as the RTR H above, but with these extra features:
    • Creates a 3D image of the profile and calculates Peak Density, Peak Count and more – a total of 14 common 2D and 3D surface parameters.
    • When paired with the Advanced body, the RTR 3D can download high-res .SDF files for further analysis.
    • These 3D surface parameters are proving to be as important (if not more so) than traditional surface profile measurements for predicting coating life.  Future proof your instrument purchase against changing specifications by investing in the highly capable PosiTector RTR 3D!
    • Note:  The PosiTector RTR 3D requires Optical grade Testex tape.
• Configurable.  Your choice of RTR probe is available separately (for use with existing PosiTector gage / body), or can be purchased as a kit with your choice of Standard or Advanced body.

Each PosiTector Body / RTR probe kit comes complete with burnishing tool, cleaning cards, check shim(s), calibration certificate, and more!  The RTR 3D package also includes one roll of X-Coarse optical grade tape.
