NEW TITLE HERE

DeFelsko PosiTest LPD Low Voltage Pinhole Detector is used to locate discontinuities in coating systems, including pinholes, cracks, bubbles, or thin spots in cured coatings of up to 20 mils thick (500 µm). Porosity testing of thicker coatings is performed with a high-voltage tester, commonly referred to as holiday detector, porosity detector, spark tester, and sometimes a jeep tester.

Flaws in coating systems permit the intrusion of moisture or potentially corrosive substances that can degrade the substrate and cause early coatings failure. Detection of pinholes, cracks, bubbles, or weak spots enables the coatings contractor to take action to repair the coating before costly degradation or failures occur.

The PosiTest LPD Low Voltage Pinhole Detector can be used to detect holidays in coatings applied to any conductive substrate, including steel and concrete. Light-weight and easy to use, the PosiTest LPD is available in a Basic Kit with the standard rectangular sponge, or a Complete Kit that also includes the hardware for a variety of test applications, including flat surfaces, internal pipes or tubes, and a roller brush option.

Features:

Lightweight, ergonomic design – the PosiTest LPD was specifically designed to fit comfortably in the hand with a balanced weight distribution
4 voltage output options conform to international standards
Automatic self-test verifies voltage calibration

PosiTest LPD Accessory Pack can be purchased separately to convert the Basic Kit to a Complete Kit.

PosiTest LPD Cabled Wand features a 5.3″ (13.5 cm) handle with a 5′ hot wire cable, to enable the coatings inspector to test for pinholes in hart-to-reach areas. The PosiTest LPD Cabled Wand is compatible with the rectangular and roller sponge hardware for the PosiTest LPD Basic and Complete kits. The Cabled Wand is sold separately as an accessory to either kit.

Optional Accessories also include:

PosiTest LPD Cabled Wand – converts the PosiTest LPD Low Voltage Pinhole Detector into a cable-wand unit
PosiTest LPD base rod for an additional 0.3m (1′) length – purchased individually; multiple extension rods can be connected to extend reach
8 x 8 ” (20 x 20 cm) sponge sheets to cut additional or custom sponge sizes/shapes
Wetting Agent – 60 ml bottle*

*Why use wetting agent? Pinholes can be tiny enough to impair the passage of water to the substrate; a particular problems with thicker coatings. Using a surfactant or wetting agent reduces the surface tension of the water, improving the penetrability of the solution through the pinhole.
