NM01LPDKITB

The DeFelsko PosiTest LPD Basic Kit is a reliable, user-friendly, and highly portable low-voltage pinhole detector designed to effectively identify flaws such as pinholes, holidays, and other discontinuities in non-conductive coatings applied to conductive substrates like metals and concrete. This essential instrument is ideal for ensuring the integrity and continuity of coatings with a thickness of up to 500 µm (20 mils), playing a crucial role in quality control and corrosion prevention across various industries.

The PosiTest LPD Basic unit prioritizes ease of operation with its straightforward interface, featuring bright, multi-function Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that provide clear indications during testing. The device is designed to be ready for immediate use right out of the box, requiring minimal setup. When a flaw is detected, the instrument provides both an audible beep and a visual alert, ensuring that operators are promptly notified of any coating imperfections.

Engineered for comfortable and efficient use, the PosiTest LPD is lightweight and ergonomically designed for single-handed operation, reducing operator fatigue during extended inspection periods. Its robust construction features a rugged, environmentally sealed enclosure that meets or exceeds IP65 standards, making it weatherproof, dustproof, and shockproof, ensuring reliable performance in various field conditions.

Accuracy is a hallmark of the PosiTest LPD. It performs an automatic self-test to verify voltage calibration, providing assurance of measurement integrity. The regulated voltage outputs (9V, 67.5V, or 90V ± 5%, selectable to comply with different international standards such as ISO, ASTM, and NACE) remain consistent under load, guaranteeing reliable and repeatable testing results. Each Basic Kit includes a Long Form Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, further validating its accuracy. The integrated GroundSense™ feature provides a clear visual indication that the instrument is properly grounded, a critical factor for obtaining accurate and dependable readings.

The PosiTest LPD Basic Kit offers versatility through its multiple voltage output options, allowing users to conform to a wide range of international testing standards. The adaptable sponge hardware enables compatibility with various sponge configurations, accommodating different inspection requirements. The instrument boasts exceptional battery life, operating for over 150 hours of continuous use on just 3 AAA alkaline or rechargeable batteries (depending on the battery type), minimizing downtime during inspections.
