The PosiTector® RTR H Electronic Surface Profile Gage (Standard) is a precise and user-friendly instrument designed for accurately measuring the surface profile of prepared metal substrates and textured coatings. This essential tool quantifies the peak-to-valley height, a critical factor in ensuring proper adhesion of subsequent coatings. The "STANDARD" model offers a robust set of features for reliable and repeatable measurements.
Engineered for measuring the roughness of surfaces prepared by methods such as abrasive blasting, as well as the texture of existing coatings, the PosiTector RTR H employs a spring-loaded stylus that traverses the surface. It captures multiple readings to determine the average peak-to-valley height (Rt), providing objective and dependable data compared to subjective visual or replica tape methods.
The PosiTector RTR H features a clear digital display for easy reading of the measured profile height. The "STANDARD" gage body includes internal memory for storing measurement data and offers USB connectivity for convenient transfer to a computer for further analysis and reporting. Its durable construction is designed to withstand the demands of field and shop environments.
