The DC Compact™ electric porosity detector is ideal for detecting pinholes and other surface defects in insulating coatings such as paint, varnish, or plastic on all metals and even concrete.
During testing, the DC Compact™ generates a low-energy high voltage of either 0–15 kV or 0–30 kV, depending on the model. The brush is gently moved across the surface. Any surface defect will cause a spark discharge, accompanied by both a visual and audible alarm. Various types and shapes of brushes are available to ensure optimal porosity detection performance on different surfaces.
