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 Coating Adhesion Test Kits.

The PosiTest OTL - DeFelsko's solution to monitor and record temperature profiles in Powder Coating and other industrial ovens. Configurable in various ways, some of it's features include:
- Simple Design. With an easy-to-use interface and bright LED's to indicate logger status, operating the Oven Temperature Logger is simple and intuitive.
- Capable. The DeFelsko OTL can:
- Measure & record up to 40,000 datasets in up to 6 batches. Records temperatures every 2 seconds for up to 22 hours.
- 6 ‘Channels’ (K-type thermocouple ports) for adding temperature probes.
- Configurable. Depending on the specific application, the OTL offers various configurations, such as:
- PosiTest OTLKIT, including logger with barrier box and standard Holder (65 minute endurance at 200° C)
- PosiTest OTLKITXT, same as above, except with heat-sink Holder (200 minute endurance at 200° C)
- (See sliding scale endurance chart on the brochure under the Documents tab)
- OTL logger only without barrier box, for use with temperature probes and when the logger does not need to be in the oven.

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. A comparison list of the feature differences of the Standard and Advanced bodies follows:
- Economical Standard Body:
- Storage of up to 1000 readings per probe (newly up from 250), available for viewing or downloading.
- Connectible Advanced Body:
- Storage of up to 250,000 readings from mulitple probes (newly up from 100,000) in up to 1000 batches
- Touchscreen keyboard makes renaming batches, adding notes, etc., more convenient than ever
- Scan mode, can take continuous readings without lifting the probe and provides 3 ways to treat the data
- WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 technology for data transfer to mobile devices, printers, and even 3rd party software
- Pre-programmed to help compliance with SSPC-PA 2, ISO 19840 and other standards

In 2021, DeFelsko introduced the 5th generation of the Positector Gage Body. While it maintains the same familiar format, the redesign offers significant improvements over the Gen 4 version, including:
- New Display: Now with a 15% larger screen (2.8" across)
- Upgraded Construction: New weatherproof, dustproof & water-resistant IP65 rated enclosure w/shock absorbing holster
- Advanced Electronics: Now the same batteries last up to 30% longer
- On-Gage Support: Functions now have a Help button to explain the feature and operation. Much easier than a manual!
BlastOne supplies all DeFelsko instruments, probes, packages, and accessories. This page shows the Gage Body options only. See the You May Also Like links below for probes, kits, and more.
NOTE: This new Gen 5 platform is backwards-compatible with all Positector probes manufactured since 2012.
