2. PosiTector 200-Introduction
PosiTector 200 used for Non
destructive thickness
measurement of one or more
layered dry surfaces in
microns /Mils.
This Instrument work on
Ultrasonic waves due to
variation in density on
interfaces.
The standard test method is
described in ASTM D6132-04.
“Standard Test Method for
Nondestructive Measurement
of Dry Film Thickness of
Applied Organic Coatings
Using an Ultrasonic Gage”
(2004, ASTM).
3. Dual Layer Measurement
Graphics option of Instrument
accessed using the “Set
Range” menu.
Narrow and high peaks
denotes major change in
density and uniform
Wide and low peaks indicate
–Blended/Composite
materials where density is
gradually change
Positector 200 use highest
peaks as a thickness results in
selected range in case of
multilayer it uses two or three
higher peaks for out put.
The nature of composition of
a composite can be
understood easily by
Graphical representation.
