Using state of the art electronics, the Elcometer 280 allows users to inspect coatings - without connecting the earth return lead to the component substrate - ideal for inspecting large surfaces and pipelines.
The Elcometer 280 uses the high voltage pulsed DC technique to detect holidays in coatings - even if the coating is damp, dirty or slightly conductive.
From the two stage safety switch, bright LED’s and screen icons signifying when the high voltage is on, to the extended ribbing to protect the user from spark creep, the Elcometer 280 sets the standard for high voltage measurement safety.

Coating Porosity Detection using the Elcometer 280 Pulsed DC Holiday Detector
When it comes to testing the porosity of protective coatings on pipelines, ballast tanks, bridges and other steel structures; or when you are testing for flaws in coatings on concrete; typically the high voltage porosity or holiday detection method is used.

An Introduction to Pinholes and Holidays – Porosity Detection
Corrosion is caused by two things – a steel substrate and oxygen, while contaminants such as water can accelerate the process. The coating is there to protect the steel from oxygen and contaminants. A flaw in the coating can leave the substrate poorly protected, or in some cases completely exposed.

Choosing the correct probe for your Elcometer High Voltage Holiday Detector
When it comes to testing the porosity of coatings using the high voltage or holiday detection method, regardless of whether you’re using a Continuous DC, or Pulsed DC detector, it’s important to choose the right probe for your application, so you can test thoroughly, efficiently, and ensure the most reliable results.
