Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment

Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment

The PosiTector 6000 non-destructively measures the thickness of

coatings on metals.Three steps ensure best accuracy…

1. Calibration: typically done by the manufacturer or qualified lab.

All probes include a Certificate of Calibration.

2. Verification of Accuracy: as done by the user on known

reference standards such as the included plastic shims or

optional coated thickness standards.

3. Adjustment: Adjustment, or Cal Adjustment is the act of

aligning the Gage’s thickness readings to match that of a known

sample in order to improve the effectiveness of the Gage on a

specific surface or in a specific portion of its measurement

range. 1-point or 2-point Cal adjustments are possible.
