ISOTEST act P2

Additionally to the well-established portable holiday detectors ELMED Messtechnik GmbH now also offers a stationary holiday detection system, the ISOTEST act P2, for the automated testing of coated pipes. Especially developed for the testing of factory coatings of all conventional coating materials, it allows the stationary holiday detection with one testing device. The all-rounder offers all necessary voltages for the safe testing of FBE (fusion bonded epoxy) as well as 3-layer PE / PP coatings according to all international standards and specifications.

Thanks to flexible components and suitable accessories not only a helical but also a circumferential testing of pipe coatings is possible with the ISOTEST act holiday detection system. By means of the unique impulse test voltage, even fully coated pipes without “bare pipe ends” (cutback) can reliably and economically be tested for cracks and pinholes. The capacitive grounding of the pipe is applied by means of special electrodes similar to the principle of a capacitor. These electrodes can be integrated with little effort in the existing roller conveyor. The application of capacitive grounding (phantom grounding) is one of the main advantages of the impulse voltage in comparison to conventional holiday detector systems using constant DC voltages. Even damp surfaces can be quickly, reliably and non-destructively tested for absence of porosity. A large variety of test electrodes of different materials (such as stainless steel, brass or conductive rubber), shapes and sizes guarantee the safe and reliable porosity testing of coatings, linings and foils without material stress.
