Coating Adhesion
There are a number of methods of measuring coating adhesion (for cured paint coatings) depending on the substrate type, thickness, curvature ( for example pipelines) and anticipated adhesion strength. Manual or automatic paint adhesion or coating adhesion measurement is traditionally done with ‘pull off’ type measuring instruments. Such as the Elcometer 106 adhesion tester or the Defelsko positest AT kit.

The innovative and capable PosiTector Gage / Body is the backbone of a large and growing family of DeFelsko inspection equipment. When paired with 1 of the over 10 interchangeable probes, it can measure and store data for common environmental, surface, coating and more conditions. DeFelsko offers two versions of gauges (Standard and Advanced) which can be purchased individually, or in a variety of DeFelsko Body / Probe packages including 1 or more probes, depending on the application. To compare features on the two gage versions, see our PosiTector 6000 Standard and Advanced Body comparison chart. This page shows the Gage Body options only. BlastOne carries all other DeFelsko items including individual PosiTector 6000 probes, PosiTector Standard Body/Probe Kits, PosiTector Advanced Body/Probe Kits, and DeFelsko Coating Inspector Packages. NOTE: This new Gen 5 PosiTector body platform is backwards-compatible with all Positector probes manufactured since 2012.
