Posted on Tuesday, April 1, 2014
DeFelsko Corp.’s PosiTector®
Interchangeable Probes for
inspection instruments has been
named a Materials Performance
Corrosion Innovation of the Year.
The American designed and
manufactured PosiTector body
accepts all interchangeable
probes, including coating
thickness (6000/200/PC),
environmental (DPM), surface
profile (RTR/SPG), and ultrasonic
wall thickness (UTG) probes.
This innovation allows quick and easy conversion from
a coating thickness gage to a surface profile gage, dew point
meter or ultrasonic wall thickness gage with a simple probe
change. Each probe retains its own unique calibration
information allowing for full probe interchangeability, an
industry first.
The MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards
showcase progressive technological developments in
all aspects of corrosion prevention and mitigation and
recognize the innovators who have created revolutionary
solutions to combat corrosion and protect vital assets from
its damaging effects.
Winners were announced at the recent Corrosion 2014,
NACE International’s corrosion conference and expo.
David Beamish, DeFelsko president, was on hand
to accept the award on behalf of the entire DeFelsko
staff located in Ogdensburg, N.Y. “We are very honored
that a panel of leading experts in the field of corrosion
chose our interchangeable PosiTector probes as the most
innovative product,” said Beamish, “A sincere thank you
to all who voted for us as we continue to pioneer new
instrumentation for inspectors.”
