DFT-540/541/542 Dry film thickness gauge
Dry Film Thickness Gauges
The DFT 540 Series gauges offer premium features which can improve your quality control system such as the ability to store as few as 10.000 or as many as 2.000.000 readings in the memory, as well as an LED probe which flashes green to confirm the reading is within tolerance or red if further investigation is required… As with all Airblast DFT Gauges the 540 Series can be used as a one-hand operation integral probe gauge, or switch within seconds to a separate probe configuration to access hard-to-reach areas… Each Airblast 540 Series gauge is supplied complete and ready to use with a Ferrous 3 mm probe which can be upgraded to a 5 mm or even a dual Ferrous & Non-Ferrous gauge for increased flexibility. When you demand the ultimate performance the 540 Series Gauges are the right choice!
