PosiTest LPD
The DeFelsko PosiTest LPD is a low-voltage pinhole detector used to locate holidays, pinholes, and discontinuities in thin, non-conductive coatings on metal and concrete. Ideal for inspecting tanks, pipes, and protective coatings.
Made in the USA and available from Miqias (Iraq) with calibration certificate, training, and technical support.
- Description
Description
The PosiTest LPD from DeFelsko is a professional low-voltage wet sponge tester used for detecting pinholes and coating discontinuities in thin protective coatings.
It is widely used in industries that require coating integrity verification, especially when coating thickness is too low for high-voltage testing.
How It Works
The instrument passes a moistened sponge over the coated surface. When the sponge encounters a defect, the electrical circuit completes and the device alerts the operator with an audible and visual signal.
