The most common quality control tests for waterproofing applications are dry film thickness with an ultrasonic coating thickness gauge and pull off adhesion testing. Concrete moisture and surface profile are also important tests before waterproofing application.

Positector 200 - Coating Thickness Gauge

The Positector 200 is an Ultrasonic Dry Film Thickness Gauge, providing a non-destructive means for determining membrane and waterproofing thickness on concrete, board, wood or plastic surfaces.

Positest AT-A

DeFelsko's Positest AT-A is an automatic Pull Off Adhesion Test System, it measures adhesion of coatings to metal, wood, concrete and other rigid substrates.

Positest CMM - Concrete Moisture Meter

DeFelsko's Positest CMM is a non-destructive electronic moisture meter, used to evaluate the comparative moisture in concrete floor slabs and screed systems.

ICRI Concrete Surface Profile Chips

These chips are designed as a visual and tactile comparator for identifying the degree of surface roughness. The user compares prepared concrete to the CSP chips and reports the chip number that most closely resembles the surface.

DY-2 Pull Off Tester

The DY-2 family of automated pull-off testers covers the complete range of pull-off applications with unmatched ease of operation and a unique capability to store a complete record of the test. The DY-2 is further unique in that it records every single test parameter required by the specification.
