Waterproof membranes can be tested for pinholes and porosity by using a high voltage detector.
Buried steel pipes will corrode unless coated and any damage to the coating will cause that area to corrode more quickly.
Buckleys supplies a range of sub-sea corrosion monitoring equipment specifically designed to determine the corrosion status of underwater structures.
Waterproof membranes applied to reinforced concrete bridges can be tested with high voltage to find any defects in the coating.
Either AC Spark Testers or DC Pinhole/Holiday Detectors can be used to test rubber, glass or plastic linings in tanks or pipes.
High voltage can be used to check welded or overlap joints for defects, whether in a new plastic tank or an existing one that has been re-lined.
Mouldings can be checked for defects by the use of high voltage testers.
The integrity of shell linings in fire extinguishers can be tested using a high voltage applied to a carbon-coated brush electrode.
Quality control in the cable and wire production industry requires high voltage testing of the insulating coating just after it has been applied. More info...
Valves lined or coated with rubber, plastic or glass require testing to ensure complete coverage.
Fluorescent tubes can be tested for vacuum both in the production process and at the packing stage by the use of a TMF Spark Tester.
Glass vials, used in the medical field for vaccines, can be checked for vacuum before and after being put into storage.
High voltage testing can be used to check insulation on diathermy instruments, surgical forceps and cables.
Welded or overlap joints in PVC sheets can be tested for defects by using a DC Holiday Detector or a high voltage AC Spark Tester.
All plastic mouldings, including battery boxes can be checked for defects by using high voltage testers.
Buckleys can now offer a range of products suitable for monitoring corrosion in buried pipelines and steel structures.
