PosiTector 200 - Coating Thickness Gauge

Concrete coatings thickness measurements are commonplace in industrial and commercial, especially measuring the applied thickness of waterproofing membrane. Specifications usually call for a minimum coating or paint thickness. We generally supply the PosiTector 200 C3 or the PosiTector 200 D3 for measuring the thickness of waterproofing membranes.

The Positector 200, also known as an Ultrasonic Film Thickness Gauge provides a non-destructive means for determining coating thickness insitu on concrete, wood or plastic surfaces. 

Support and Free Training

• 2 year warranty – covers both the body and probe
  • Quick turnaround as we have a local, trained full-time technician at our service centre in Sydney, NSW

• A free training session on theory and operation is included with every purchase of the Ultrasonic Film Thickness product range (e.g. PosiTector 200 C3, PosiTector 200 D3)
  • PCTE offers a 2-hour training session to discuss theory and teach how to use the gauge
  • It is critical to be trained as users interpret the output of the gauge, adjust and configure for accurate measurements – this is the same for all ultrasonic coating thickness gauges.

Theory

The PosiTector 200 probe emits a high frequency sound pulse that travels into the coating via a coupling gel and reflects from ANY surface that is different in density.

The readings of a ultrasonic film thickness gauge are obtained by measuring the time taken for the siund pulse to propagate from the probe to the coating/substrate interface and back.

How to select your probes

Choose your substrate:

• Type B (Polymer coatings on wood, plastic, etc.)
• Type C (Coatings on concrete, fiberglass, etc.)
• Type D (Thick, soft coatings such as polyuria, asphaltic neoprene, very thick polymers, etc.)

Standard models measure the total thickness of a coating system.

Advanced models measure total thickness of a coating system or up to 3 individual layer thicknesses in a multi-layer system. Also features graphic readout for detailed analysis of the coating system.

The selection of probe determines both the maximum thickness that can be measured, and the precision of the measurement.

Type C (PosiTector 200C3) is for standard coating measurement on concrete, and type D (PosiTector 200D3) is better for thicker coatings. Type B is more commonly used for testing over wood but does have a finer resolution when measuring multiple layers within a coating.
