Corona 5Holiday Detector
Corona 5Holiday Detector
The Corona 5 is a portable pulsed holiday detector for non-destructive testing of thin protective dielectric coatings. It detects pinholes, pores, cracks, leaks and other coating discontinuities using an adjustable test voltage and is suitable for coatings from 50 µm to 1 mm thick.
Description
The Corona 5 is a compact portable holiday detector designed for non-destructive testing of thin dielectric coatings on electrically conductive substrates. It detects pinholes, pores, cracks, leaks and other discontinuities that can compromise the protective properties of a coating.
With an adjustable test voltage of 0.7–5 kV, the device is intended for coatings from 50 µm to 1 mm thick. A range of interchangeable electrodes makes it suitable for inspection of pipelines, tanks, vessels, metal structures and other coated components, including flat, cylindrical and difficult-to-access surfaces.
The Corona 5 is particularly suitable for quality control of thin anticorrosion and protective coatings during manufacturing, application and maintenance.
