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!
