High voltage or holiday detection method is best for testing the porosity of protective coatings on pipelines, ballast tanks, or bridges
Use Elcometer 266 Holiday Detector to test porosity on coatings up to 7 mm (275 mils) thick.It is ideal for inspecting coatings on pipelines and other protective coatings. Featuring a built-in voltage calculator which will determine and set the correct test voltage based upon the test standard and the thickness of the coating being tested.
There are Dual Safety Switch handles available that automatically cut power to the probe should you lose grip of the handle to avoid accidental switch-on.

Operation safety
- Handle features dual safety switches to avoid accidental turning on. It also has 2-stage safety switch so if you loose the grip on it, the instrument will automatically switch off.
- Ideal for two handed use: can be gripped with 2 hands, specialised ribbing provides superior protection. Specifically designed to meet standard EN61010.
- The tester emits a ticking noise to indicate voltage presence in the handle.
- A loud alarm is produced when a spark is detected. Adjust the beep volume to ensure it’s audible – even in noisy environments.

Standards
ANSI/AWWA C213, AS 3894.1, ASTM C 536, ASTM C 537, ASTM D 4787, ASTM D 5162-B, ASTM G 62-B, BS1344-11, DIN 55670, EN 14430, ISO 2746, ISO 29601, JIS K 6766, NACE RP0274, NACE RP0188, NACE RP0190, NACE RP0490, NACE SP0188, NACE SP0490
*When testing on concrete or cement substrates, this is where you should test if the substrate has enough moisture in it to conduct electricity; and, therefore, if it’s suitable for use with a holiday detector.
