Over 50 Configurations Available, See Ordering Guide For Details

The 6000 Series Coating Thickness Gauge is a precise and rugged, coating thickness gauges that use magnetic and eddy current principles to measure coating thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, accurately and quickly. No calibration adjustment is required for most applications.

The Positector's 2.8" impact-resistant color touchscreen features a redesigned keypad for quick menu navigation. An IP65-rated enclosure is watherproof, dustproof, and water-resistant. The probe has a wear resistant ruby probe tip, for long-lasting calibration.

The probe can be swapped out with any other PosiTector probe allowing the device to act as several different measuring instruments including but not limited to a hardness durometer, a thermometer, a surface profiler, and a dew point meter. See related products for a more inclusive list.

USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity to PosiSoft PC, Mac, and Smartphone software . Conforms to ISO 2178/2360/2808, ISO 19840, ASTM B244/B499/D1186/D1400/D7091/E376/G12, BS3900-C5, SSPC-PA2, US Navy NAVSEA PPI 63101-000, US Navy NAVSEA 009-32, AS 2331.1.4, AS3894.3-B, and other standards.
