and below. The updated portfolio enables
chemical engineers and field technicians
to maximize production and mitigate
materials failure in pipelines and process-
ing equipment while optimizing chemical
usage to help ensure maximum uptime of
their pipeline and associated equipment.
Designed with safety in mind, these hand-
insertion monitoring products include a
patented locking collet that safely secures
the shaft within the process stream until
released by the operator. An integrated
safety cap or chain is also included,
depending on the model. The updated line
provides the oil and gas industry with a
simplified way to configure corrosion
monitoring and chemical optimization
products that are compliant with industry
specifications. Tel: +1 262-684-4860, web

New Coatings Thickness
Gauge for Metal Substrates
DeFelsko
(Ogdensburg,
New York)
released the new
PosiTest DFT
Coating Thick-
ness Gage for
measuring coat-
ing thickness on
metal substrates.
New features
include a faster
measurement speed of over 60 readings
per minute, on-screen averaging for up to
99 readings, a high-contrast color liquid
crystal display, and an auto-rotating dis-
play with lock to prevent unintended rota-
tions. This rugged, durable gage is avail-
able in two models: Ferrous for measuring
coatings on steel, and Combo for measur-
ing coatings on all metals. The product's
strong, wear-resistant, ruby-tipped probes
and the lack of calibration adjustment
needed for most applications make the
economical gage ideal for powder
coaters, paint applicators, inspectors,
and more. Tel: +1 315-393-4450, web site:
