Elcometer 280 Pulsed DC Holiday Detector
The Elcometer 280 is a state-of-the-art pulsed DC holiday detector designed to safely, efficiently, and reliably detect porosity (holidays) in non-conductive coatings applied to conductive substrates. Engineered for industrial environments, it ensures coatings meet quality standards by detecting flaws up to 25mm (1") deep.
Key features
