DFT-520 Dry film thickness gauge
Dry Film Thickness Gauge
The DFT-520 Dry Film Thickness Gauge is designed for the tough environment in which you operate and offers the ultimate flexibility of changing from integral to separate probe use within seconds… The unique probe design even features an LED which flashes green to confirm that the reading has been performed correctly. The unit 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. With one button operation the DFT-520 is easy-to-use, ergonomic and ready to be your quality control partner!
