DeFelsko is pleased to announce a new webinar series featuring products from our extensive line of inspection instruments. We will discuss the core features, applications, and operation of our products in an interactive setting.
What to Expect
Each webinar will focus on one or more of our products. Our experienced technical staff will walk you through the functionality of that product and highlight the key selling points that set it apart from competing brands. You will learn how to use DeFelsko Inspection Instruments to their full potential and will also have the opportunity to ask questions during the presentation. To ensure you get the most out of your webinar experience, your questions will be answered in this live setting.
Each webinar is scheduled to last one hour.

Dry film thickness (DFT) or coating thickness is arguably the single most important measurement made during the application and inspection of protective coatings. Coatings are designed to perform their intended function when applied within the DFT range specified by the manufacturer. Even the most basic specification will require DFT to be measured. In this webinar, learn about DeFelsko’s full range of coating thickness instruments, including:
Surface Profile
No matter what method your customer uses to create surface profile, it is vital to ensure the correct surface profile height prior to painting. If the profile is too low, the paint may fail to adhere; while if the profile is too high, the paint may fail to fully coat the surface. In addition to profile height, emerging research indicates that another variable- Peak Density- may be important, or even more important than peak height. In this webinar, learn about:
Environmental Conditions
Environmental conditions during surface preparation and application of a coating system are major factors affecting the long-term performance of coatings on steel structures. Meters can be used to monitor environmental conditions before, during, and after painting. Ideal for surface preparation as required by ISO8502-4, an electronic Dew Point Meter determines the likelihood of dew forming on structures which are being painted. In this webinar, learn about:
Gloss
Measuring gloss during the manufacturing process can help identify process issues—maximizing consistency and improving overall quality. An important part of QA/QC programs, gloss measurement contributes to improved manufacturing efficiency.
Uncured Powder Thickness
In order to achieve optimum performance characteristics such as color, hardness, and adhesion, powder coating manufacturers recommend a target thickness range. Coating thickness is often measured after the powder has been cured. However, it is possible and many times more desirable to determine if applied powder is within thickness specifications prior to curing, reducing costly rework. In this webinar, learn about:
Oven Profile
During the powder coating process, the applied powder coating must be exposed to elevated temperatures for a predetermined amount of time to cure properly. To control the curing process, frequent oven profiling is required. The new PosiTest OTL Oven Temperature Logger is ideal for measuring and recording oven temperature profiles during curing. Simultaneously measure up to 6 different temperatures at a time to help minimize rework and energy costs. In this webinar, learn about:
Coating Thickness on Non-Metals
An overview of how to non-destructively measure coatings over wood, concrete, plastic, and more using the PosiTector 200 Ultrasonic Coating Thickness Gage. In this webinar, learn about:
Concrete Moisture
An overview of the PosiTest CMM Concrete Moisture Meter and PosiTector CMM IS Concrete Moisture Meter In-Situ probes and free mobile app for guiding users through the ASTM F2170 documentation criteria. In this webinar, learn about:
DeFelsko now manufactures three of the most modern, easy-to-use, and durable options for detecting pinholes and flaws in coatings: the PosiTest LPD Low voltage Pinhole Detector, the PosiTest HHD Pulsed DC High voltage Holiday Detector, and the NEW PosiTest HHD C Continuous DC High Voltage Holiday Detector. In this webinar, learn about:
Ultrasonic Wall Thickness
Since the introduction of the PosiTector UTG Ultrasonic Thickness Gage, DeFelsko has refined and expanded its line of wall thickness gages to include multiple-echo, low-frequency, and precision models. Each version includes advanced features at a fraction of the price of competitive instruments. In this webinar, learn about:
Salt and Dust Contamination
Surface contamination from soluble salts and dust from residual blast media are major factors affecting the long-term performance of coatings on steel surfaces. Before the application of protective coatings, substrates must be thoroughly inspected for the presence of surface contaminants. The PosiTector SST Soluble Salt Tester by DeFelsko is the simple, durable, and accurate way to measure salt contamination in accordance with the Bresle method. The PosiTest DT Dust Tape Test assesses the quantity and size of dust particles on blast cleaned surfaces. Optional spring-loaded Dust Tape Roller available to apply constant force as recommended by ISO 8502-3. In this webinar, learn about:
Adhesion
Nearly 20 years ago, DeFelsko revolutionized the practice of adhesion testing with it's economical, accurate, and easy-to-use PosiTest AT Adhesion Tester. Today, after years of continuous improvement, the PosiTest AT-A and PosiTest AT-M remain the industry standard in adhesion testing. Our PosiTest CH Cross Hatch Adhesion Tester determines a coating's ability to resist separation from a substrate when a lattice pattern is cut into the coating in accordance with ISO 2409 and ASTM D3359. In this webinar, learn about:
Hardness
DeFelsko offers handheld digital hardness tests in compliance with two different recognized hardness scales: Shore and Barcol. Our PosiTector SHD Shore Hardness Durometer is available in both Shore A and Shore D scales to measure the indentation hardness of non-metallic materials. The PosiTector BHI Barcol Hardness Impressor is ideal for measuring the indentation hardness of soft metals, harder plastics and fiber-reinforced plastics. The PosiTest PT Pencil Hardness Test determines the film hardness by pencil test (Wolff-Wilborn) in accordance with ISO 15184 and ASTM D3363. In this portion, learn about:
Reporting of measurement data is an increasingly common practice to ensure that each job has been accurately documented and that project guidelines have been met. DeFelsko's powerful suite of software makes record keeping, reporting, and analysis of data easier than ever. In this webinar, learn about:
