DeFelsko manufactures hand-held, non-destructive ultrasonic coating thickness gages that are ideal for measuring the dry film thickness of paint applied to gypsum board (drywall / sheet rock / wallboard).

Sep 13, 2021 · Paint and coating thickness is determined by measuring this pull-off force. Thinner coatings will have stronger magnetic attraction while thicker films will have comparatively less magnetic attraction.

Coating thickness readings are obtained by measuring the time taken for the ultrasonic signal to propagate from the probe to the coating/substrate interface and back. The travel time is divided by two and multiplied by the velocity of sound in the coating to obtain the thickness of the coating.

Destructive paint inspection gages measure the thickness of single or multiple coating layers by cutting a groove into the coating system using a precise angle and measuring the cut using a 50x microscope and reticle.

The PosiTector 200 non-destructively measures up to 3 layers of coating thickness over wood, concrete, plastic and more using proven ultrasound technology.
