Buckleys Pinhole / Holiday Detectors enable inspectors to check quickly and effectively for porosity, pinholes and other faults in a wide range of non-conductive coatings and linings.

Buckleys’ units have been extensively used for many years in the petro-chemical, aerospace, pipeline construction and plastic fabrication industries.

The PD 240 has been specially designed to incorporate new technology and is suitable for checking coating thicknesses of between 64 microns to 25.6mm.

If additional electrodes and accessories are required, the PD 240 can be supplied as a Complete Kit (see data sheet PD40C). Special kits are available for testing pipeline coatings (see data sheet PD40P) and for checking porosity in bridge deck and roofing membranes (see data sheet PD40R).

• Membrane keypad operation
• Microprocessor controlled
• Automatic voltage selector
• Accurate sensitivity control
• Displays electrode DC current
• Volume control for quiet environments

• Existing PHD accessories can be used
• One year “back to base” warranty
• CE approved

The Buckleys PD 240 Pipeline Test Kit has been especially created to enable inspectors to quickly check non-conductive pipe coatings or linings for porosity, pinholes and other faults. It is suitable for checking coating thicknesses of between 64 microns to 25.6mm and contains all the necessary equipment to perform basic tests.

Additional Phosphor Bronze electrodes, either straight or curved, can be supplied for use with the kit (see data sheet E1). Alternatively, Rolling Spring Electrodes can provide an effective means of testing external pipe coatings and are available in most sizes to suit (see data sheet E3).

Coatings on smaller pipes (less than 100mm / 4 inches) can be tested by using a silicone rubber electrode (with suitable size hole) through which the pipe can be passed (see data sheet E2).

An optional robust transit case is available which has been specially designed to carry all the items in the kit, this would be particularly useful when working on-site.

The Buckleys PD 240 Roofing/ Bridge Deck Test Kit has been specifically created to enable
inspectors to quickly effectively check a roof or Bridge Deck for pinholes and porosity.

The PD 240 will test non-conductive membranes from 64 microns to 25.6mm. The kit contains all the equipment needed to perform the tests and includes a 50m earth extension lead and a 450mm (18”) phosphor bronze electrode, suitable for most applications.

For ease of transporting, especially on site, the Test Kit is supplied in a hi-visibility carrying case which securely holds the unit and all of the accessories. Batteries can be charged out of the unit by mains or from a car lighter socket or, good quality D cells can be used.

The change to an M8 thread will be effective on all products and accessories from the 1st April 2012.

To make this transition from a 5/16” thread to M8 thread, Buckleys have designed two adaptors.

Customers purchasing new products, handles and accessories after April 1st 2012 which have an M8 thread and wish to use their old 5/16”thread accessories will require a Black adaptor. This Black adaptor is Part No: ADI1 (M8 to 5/16”).

For all customers that have old Products (5/16”) and purchase new M8 accessories or handles will require a Red Adaptor. This Red adaptor is Part No: ADM1 (5/16” to M8).

NOTE: New HV products leaving the factory have serial numbers ending in “M” and accessories are being marked “Metric” to assist customers in identification.

Buckleys are proud to sponsor Peter Woodsford, who in his spare time delivers essential packages for the Emergency Rider Volunteer Service. www.servkent.org

This invaluable service assists our NHS (National Health Service) with urgent blood and organ deliveries to hospitals around the Kent and London border.

Peter has been required to supply his own bike, which has been painted in the liveried colours of the service.
Peter then has to fund the running of his bike himself.

To help G & S Roofing test the integrity of a 20,000 sq metre roof at Arsenal Football Club’s state of the art Emirates Stadium in north London.

To test the roof material (constructed from decking plywood and Sarnafil membrane), quickly, cost-effectively and accurately, despite the challenge posed by the many steel roof penetrations.

The Solution

Rather than employ a sub-contractor to test the roof (as had been its previous practice) G & S Roofing used Buckleys’ award-winning Roof Testing Kit to check for defects by passing a high voltage over the surface.

Key Benefits

G & S Roofing was able to prove that the membrane was watertight on handover day.

The company is now equipped with a robust, reliable, easy to use DIY kit that eliminates the need to employ costly sub-contractors.
