It features an automatic substrate recognition system, a durable ruby-tipped probe, and requires no calibration for most applications, making it the go-to tool for professionals demanding fast, accurate, and reliable coating inspections. ## Description The PosiTest DFT is the economical choice that provides the proven quality of DeFelsko inspection instruments. Fast, repeatable measurements and NO calibration required for most applications make the PosiTest DFT ideal for powder coaters, paint applicators, coating inspectors, automotive resellers/refinishers, and more. The PosiTest DFT Ferrous measures non-magnetic coatings on steel up from 0-40 mils (1-1000 microns). The PosiTest DFT Combo measures non-magnetic coatings on steel AND non-conductive coatings on aluminum, brass, etc. from 0-40 mils (1-1000 microns). The PosiTest DFT Combo instantly and automatically recognizes the substrate and takes a measurement. Made in the USA, the PosiTest DFT features DeFelsko' s legendary quality in a simple, easy-to-use format. Each PosiTest DFT features a strong, wear-resistant, ruby-tipped probe which won't wear down over time, eliminating the need for periodic calibration adjustments and maximizing the life of the instrument. The PosiTest DFT comes with a full 2-year warranty on the gage and probe. The PosiTest DFT features advanced calibration adjustment features typically seen on more expensive instruments. The zero feature allows users to adjust for rough or curved surfaces. The 1-Point Calibration Adjustment feature allows users to adjust to the known thickness of a shim placed over rough or curved surfaces. A handy reset feature returns the instrument to out-of-the box factory settings, to return the instrument to the factory calibration. The PosiTest DFT conforms to the following standards: ISO 2178/2360/2808, preen ISO 19840, ASTM B244/B499/B659/D1186/D1400/D7091/E376/G12, BS3900-C5, SSPC-PA2 and others. Review: Film Thickness Meter - Worked as expected. Fast shipping from desertcart. Not much else to add other than it works as intended to inspect painted parts off the paint line. Review: Good Quality products! - We are replacing our old model that worked for us for about 12 years. Great investment!!....I truly recommend it....thank you! ## Features - Measures non-magnetic coatings on steel AND non-conductive coatings on aluminum, brass, etc. from 0-40 mils (1-1000 microns).
