The DFT-440 Dry Film Thickness Gauge provides a fast and economical solution to nondestructive dry film thickness measurement, data storage, and analysis on ferrous and nonferrous substrates, is calibrated for life, features a patented probe design which allows for integral or separate use, are also available as wireless probes and has an industry leading three year warranty. In order for coating systems to perform as designed the thickness of each coat of paint must be within tolerances set by the material manufacturer – measuring the dry film thickness of the paint  after the coating process is an invaluable tool to ensure that the thickness of the coating is as specified. The DFT-440 Dry Film Thickness Gauge is ergonomic and light weight (127 gram) yet tough and reliable, and is powered by standard alkaline batteries. The easy to use back lit four button key pad is intuitive and leads the user through the available menu options. The back lit screen displays readings clearly and has the possibility to flip through 180 degrees when the gauge is turned upside down. In addition to a (constant) factory calibration, the DFT-440 offers two calibration processes that are useful during specific measuring tasks such as measurement on curvatures or small parts. 

• A one-point calibration can optimize the probe’s measuring accuracy with an expected coating thickness.
• A two point calibration can increases the probe’s measuring accuracy in a certain coating thickness range.

Up to one hundred readings can be stored in the gauge  and can be downloaded via a wireless connection (software available
as option). Once downloaded the data can be analysed and stored in Excel.
The DFT-440 Dry Film Thickness Gauge features a patented probe design which allows for integral or separate use to access
hard to reach areas. The probe features an industry leading tip manufactured from ruby ensuring millions of fast, reliable and
accurate readings. The gauge features a sleep mode which turns the unit off after a short period of inactivity, by placing the
probe onto a surface to be measured the unit reactivates and is immediately ready for use.
A wireless probe is available as a cost option. The wireless probe allows measurements to be taken at a distance of up to
twenty meters from one or multiple gauge units allowing for readings to be taken in very hard to access areas as well as
being simultaneously monitored and recorded on multiple gauges. The wireless probe is extremely small and light weight (30
grams) and can take up to 4000 measurements without recharging.
The DFT-440 is supplied in a foam filled hard plastic carry case with an additional soft plastic pouch for ease of transportation
in the job site. Both the Gauge and the probe have hand sizes straps allowing for easy fixing on the wrist  or clothes.
