PosiTector Calibrations

The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) provides PosiTector calibrations for a wide variety of DeFelsko gauges. ATS is a reputable firm for calibrations, testing, and inspections. The DeFelsko Corporation is a well-established manufacturer of inspection instruments with interchangeable probes. This versatility in function makes DeFelsko products extremely popular in the coating inspection fields.

The DeFelsko PosiTector series enables fast and nondestructive data collection for countless applications. Our clients frequently use PosiTectors for environmental monitoring, quality assurance, and ensuring compliance with national and international regulations. PosiTectors take critical measurements of metallic and non-metallic materials, including aluminum, plastic/polymers, steel, wood, concrete, and composites.

ATS calibrates many PosiTector devices, such as:

  • Coating Thickness Gauges – Use Eddy Current and magnetic principles to determine the dimensions of coats on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates
  • Gloss Meters – Measure how well a substrate reflects light to identify defects and quality issues
  • Infrared Meters – Provide temperature readings without touching a surface
  • Dew Point/Environmental Meters – Indicate multiple environmental factors, such as dew point temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed
  • Surface Profile Gauges – Measure the depths of uneven or textured surfaces before a coat is applied
ATS Calibrations
ATS maintains an accredited calibration laboratory that frequently calibrates mechanical equipment, electronics, and standards. First, the expert identifies and corrects the drift introduced across frequent use. The technician then verifies the equipment’s continued accuracy and compliance.
Most industries schedule an annual recalibration as part of a quality assurance or maintenance program. ATS can provide more frequent calibrations for PosiTectors used in extreme industrial environments.

Our accredited labs can take shipments of devices, or we can send an expert to calibrate instruments at a client’s site. The technician who reviews your device will assess whether the readings comply with client and manufacturer tolerances. Our calibration experts compare a client’s device with our NIST-traceable standards and document any damage or flaws discovered during the service.

ATS experts can follow the calibration procedures from ASTM and ISO standards, including:

  • ASTM B244 – Thickness of Nonconductive Coatings on Nonmagnetic Metals with Eddy Current
  • ASTM D1400 – Dry Film Thickness of Nonconductive Coatings on Non-ferrous Metal Bases
  • ASTM D523 – Specular Gloss of Non-metallic Surfaces
  • ISO 2813 – Color Gloss Value
  • ISO 7668 – Specular Reflectance and Gloss of Anodic Aluminum Coatings
Calibration Lab

ATS’ calibration lab is A2LA-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 procedures (Certificate Number 1888.03). First opened in 1987, our lab has steadily built an exceptional reputation for quick turnaround times (7-10 business days) and thorough reporting available through our secure portal.bus
