PosiTest Powder Inspection Kits:
Complete solutions for measuring powder coating before and after cure. Each kit contains the new PosiTest PC, two DeFelsko Powder Combs and your choice of dry film thickness gage. Select from 6 pre-configured kits or build your own.
Software Features
Simple, intuitive user interface
Import readings directly from the gage via USB or from legacy PosiSoft desktop versions
NEW Synchronize measurement data including readings, notes and pictures to and from PosiSoft.net
Jobs feature consolidates batches into groups to keep measurement data organized and to quickly create multi-batch reports
Report preview automatically refreshes as changes are made
HiLo mode compares measurements against user-specified limits (PosiTector 6000, SPG and UTG models only). HiLo parameters are identified on generated reports.
NEW Import/Export all measurements data including jobs, report templates and settings for backup and sharing
Save readings as comma separated value (.CSV) files which can easily be imported into supporting applications such as documents, spreadsheets and databases.
Why measure uncured powder?
Coatings must be applied within certain minimum and maximum dry film thickness specifications. But waiting to measure coating thickness after curing can result in product waste and production delays. Accurate measurement at the time of application:
• Eliminates over usage
• Improves quality
• Controls set-up
• Reduces rework & waste
• Saves money!
What types of batteries are used?
The instrument uses 4 “AAA” alkaline batteries(included) providing 16 hours of continuous measurement.
Do your instruments require any formal training for use? Do you offer ‘demo’ models?
No. Our instruments are designed for simple operation, feature easy-to-use menus, both full and quick instruction manuals, and helpful videos. In lieu of demonstration models, we provide unlimited technical support via telephone and/or email, and a limited 30-day money back guarantee.
What has changed from the previous version?
The PosiTest PC has been completely redesigned as a dedicated stand-alone unit and is now part of the PosiTest family of instruments. No PosiTector gage body required.

Does the PosiTest PC conform to existing standards and test methods?
Yes. The PosiTest PC complies with ASTM D7378, “Standard Practice for Measurement of Thickness of Applied Coating Powders to Predict Cured Thickness”.
How does it work?
The probe uses airborne ultrasound to non-destructively analyze applied powder in seconds.
Is a Certificate of Calibration included with the PosiTest PC?
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.
Is the PosiTest PC suitable for on-line applications?
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.
Does the PosiTest PC imprint or dimple the powder?
No. The PosiTest PC is a non-contact instrument and there are no cables to accidentally brush and disturb the powder.
Do I have to hold the instrument steady during measurement?
No. In fact, the PosiTest PC performs best when there is slight movement. It was designed to measure moving parts on swinging hooks.
Can the PosiTest PC store or print data?
Yes. The PosiTest PC can store up to 999 readings in one batch. Stored readings can be downloaded to PosiSoft Desktop software for record keeping and review.
