POROSCOPE® HV5, HV20, HV40 Porosity Test Using High Voltage Coating Thickness Material Analysis Material Testing

In order to protect objects, which are made of steel or metal, they are coated with corrosion resistant materials such as rubber, synthetics or enamel. The protective coatings must be tight, that is, free of pores, cracks or embedded foreign objects, to keep aggressive materials from the carrier material that is in danger of corrosion. Fine pores or cracks cannot be entirely avoided in any coating process. The POROSCOPE is used for quick and reliable pore tests on coated metals. Typical applications: • namel- or plastic-coated mineral oil tanks, agitator E kettles, pipelines, boilers and heat...

Measurement Method, Features non-conductive coating material conductive substrate (grounded) a) test head b) sweeper electrode c) grounding terminal d) supply unit The test method is based on the fact that all electrically insulating coating materials have a much higher disruptive strength than air. At the POROSCOPE the suitable test voltage is set according to the disruptive strength and thickness of the coating. Alternatively, a test standard can be selected and a coating thickness can be set. The POROSCOPE then adjusts the appropriate high voltage automatically. The specimen is grounded and...
