Yes. The PosiTest PC complies with ASTM D7378, Standard Practice for Measurement of Thickness of Applied Coating Powders to Predict Cured Thickness.

The probe uses airborne ultrasound to non-destructively analyze applied powder in seconds.

No. Certificates of Calibration show traceability to a National Standard and no uncured powder thickness standard exists at this time. The PosiTest PC Powder Checker is an in-process tool. To validate the PosiTest PC’s readings and confirm the final thickness meets specifications, measure the cured coating with a PosiTector 6000 or PosiTest DFT dry film thickness gage. Our dry film thickness gages include a Certificate of Calibration.

Yes. The PosiTest PC has the ability to stream positioning and measurement data via its USB port, and can be integrated into on-line, automated applications with appropriate fixturing. To ensure the USB cable stays reliably connected, the USB Retention Fixture accessory is recommended.

No. The PosiTest PC is a non-contact instrument and there are no cables to accidentally brush and disturb the powder.
