PosiTector® Inspection Kits
Our PosiTector Inspection Kits bundle everything you need for full inspection workflows: a gauge body (Standard or Advanced), three core probes (coating thickness, environmental, and surface profile), plus all accessories in a rugged hard shell case. Whether you need one pre-configured kit or a custom-built system, these kits give you flexibility, traceability, and up-front readiness.
Since 1998, DFT Instruments has been supplying these kits to UK coating professionals, ensuring each kit is fully calibrated, warranty-backed, and built for real-world inspection tasks.
Features
-
Complete All-in-One Kit – Each set includes a PosiTector gauge body (choose Standard or Advanced), one or more compatible probes, and essential accessories packaged in a rugged hard-shell carrying case.
-
Flexible Configuration – Pick from 24 ready-made kit options or custom-build your own by selecting the body and probes that match your inspection needs.
-
Choice of Gauge Features – Available with either Standard or Advanced body specifications, plus your preferred coating thickness probes and surface-profile instruments.
-
Universal Probe Compatibility – Every PosiTector body works seamlessly with all PosiTector probes—6000, 200, DPM, IRT, RTR, SPG, SST, SHD, BHI, UTG, and GLS—so a single gauge can function as a coating thickness gauge, dew-point meter, surface-profile gauge, soluble-salt tester, hardness tester, ultrasonic wall-thickness gauge, or gloss meter.
-
Certified Accuracy – Supplied with a long-form Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or PTB to meet quality and audit requirements.
Why Inspection Kits Matter
-
One Package, Multiple Measurements
Instead of buying separate tools, a kit gives you probes to measure dry film thickness, environmental conditions (dew point, temperature, humidity), and surface profile—all in one instrument body. -
Audit-Proof Traceability
Supplied with long-form calibration certificates for the body and each probe, traceable to NIST or PTB—ideal for contract, spec, or regulatory work. -
Efficiency & Versatility on Site
Inspectors can switch probes quickly without changing bodies, thanks to the PosiTector system. It saves time, reduces errors, and means fewer tools to carry. -
Consistent Performance
All components are pre-tested; accessories include zero plates, shims, protective housings—everything needed to maintain accuracy in harsh environments.
Why Choose DFT?
-
UK Calibration & Support
Every kit comes with three long-form calibration certificates. DFT handles recalibration locally with fast turnarounds. -
Full Assemblies
Kits include body, probes, and all required accessories—holsters, straps, shims, cases—so you can be inspection-ready on delivery. -
Decades of Experience
With over 25 years in the UK, our advice is rooted in practical field use—what works, what fails, and what inspectors really need. -
Customisation Available
Choose your body (Standard or Advanced), your coating probe (range, ferrous/non-ferrous, cable or integral), and get the accessories to match your workflow.
Features & Benefits
-
Standard or Advanced gauge body versions available—choose based on memory, connectivity, screen, etc.
-
Compatible with the full PosiTector probe range (6000, DPM, SPG etc.), so you can expand or change measurement types later.
-
Includes essential accessories: glass zero plate, precision plastic shims, metal shims, rubber holster, wrist strap, and long-form calibration.
-
Hard-shell protective case ensures safe transport and storage.
-
AAA battery powered for most bodies; some advanced versions offer extended logging or connectivity.
-
On-body averaging and/or scan modes (depending on body & probe) to help smooth out readings over rough or variable surfaces.

FAQ’s
What’s the difference between Standard and Advanced bodies?
Advanced bodies generally have more memory, enhanced screen/display features, more connectivity options, and more modes for data logging or scanning.
Can I later add more probes to the kit?
Yes. The PosiTector system is designed to accept many probes. You can expand functionality (e.g. for hardness, gloss, wall thickness) via additional compatible probes.
Do all probes come calibrated?
Yes. Each probe included has its own calibration certificate.
What accessories are included that help ensure measurement accuracy?
Zero plates, shims (plastic & metal), protective lens shield, etc., are provided—these help with verifying and maintaining accuracy.
What environments are these kits suited for?
Rugged field or production environments—each kit includes protective housing, holster, strap etc.—suitable for blast bays, shipyards, workshops, etc.
How many readings can the gauge store?
Depends on the body type: Standard kits have lower storage; Advanced can store more readings/batches etc. (e.g. 1,000+ readings depending on probe and model).
