PoroTest 7

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PoroTest 7 is a high voltage porosity detection device designed by ElektroPhysik for non-destructive testing of insulating coatings on metal substrates. It is used to identify flaws such as pores and cracks that can compromise corrosion resistance.
Specifications: The device operates with a high voltage probe and a control unit, featuring a digital display and control pad. It supports test voltages from 500 to 35,000 volts, suitable for coatings from 30 microns to 11.3 mm in thickness. The device is compliant with DIN 55 670, ASTM D 5162-01, and AS 3894.1-2002 standards.
Features: The PoroTest 7 includes a user-friendly interface with a backlit display, 15 sensitivity settings, and pre-set test voltages. It provides visual and audible signals for flaw detection and includes safety features like a residual voltage indicator. The device is portable, powered by AC or rechargeable batteries, and offers a low-battery indicator.
Applications: It is suitable for testing coatings on pipelines, storage tanks, vessels, and other industrial structures. The device can be used with various electrodes for different applications, including rolling spring, brush, and sweeper electrodes.
Advantages: The PoroTest 7 offers quick and reliable flaw detection, precise voltage settings, and a compact design for easy handling. It supports multiple languages and provides a broad range of interchangeable high voltage probes for different testing needs.
Technical Specifications: The device includes three high voltage probe models (P7, P30, P35) with specific operating ranges and coating thickness capabilities. It features a 90 dB alarm signal, potential-free signal output, and a storage battery with a quick charge time of 4 hours.
Accessories: Standard accessories include a rugged carrying case, control unit, high-voltage electrode, and various cables. Optional accessories include additional electrodes and a non-destructive coating thickness gauge.

Porosity detection and corrosion control Flaws in protective coatings such as pores, cracks and fissures, if undetected, may impair the corrosion resistance of a product. The PoroTest 7 by ElektroPhysik has been specifically designed for non-destructive porosity testing of such coatings, based on automatic test voltage control specific to the thickness of material to be tested and vice versa. The major fields of application of the PoroTest 7 range from vendor inspection to quality assurance in corrosion protection. and a test electrode, which is simply connected to the probe. The control unit...
