Uniquely designed for rugged applications. The FXS Xtreme™ probe with zirconia-toughened alumina wear face is ideal for rough steel surfaces.
Enhanced measuring speed of 50+ readings per minute makes it ideal for measuring large, rough surfaces quickly. Scan mode increases measurement rate to over 100 readings per minute (PosiTector Advanced only).
Compatible with PosiTector bodies with serial numbers greater than 700,000.
FRS, NRS, FNRS
Right angle probe for measuring within areas of low headroom.
These constant-pressure, stainless steel probes are hermetically sealed to be totally waterproof - ideal for underwater use.
The PosiTector® 6000 FNDS probe measures the individual thicknesses of both the paint and the zinc layers in a duplex coating system with a single reading.
Duplex coating systems use a combination of two corrosion protection systems – typically paint or powder coating over galvanized steel (hot-dip, electro or zinc spray metallizing). The resultant corrosion protection is superior to either protection system used independently.
In Duplex mode, the PosiTector® 6000 FNDS utilizes both magnetic (ferrous) and eddy current (non-ferrous) principles simultaneously to calculate and display the individual paint and zinc layer thicknesses. The magnetic principle is used to measure the combined paint/zinc thickness over the ferrous substrate, and the eddy current principle is used to measure the paint thickness over the non-ferrous zinc coating. The zinc thickness is calculated by subtracting the paint thickness from the combined paint/zinc thickness measurement.
When disabled, the gage will operate like a conventional combination ferrous/non-ferrous instrument (similar to the PosiTector® 6000 FNS probe). Ideal for measuring non-magnetic coatings over steel and non-conductive coatings over non-ferrous metal substrates.
Compatible with PosiTector® Advanced (serial numbers 730,000+) and PosiTector Standard gage bodies with a color display. A Simple gage update may be required.
