join the best: 4-8April 2016 Düsseldorf, Germany I www.tube.de join the best — welcome to the world’s leading trade fair for the tube industry! Those who wish to find comprehensive informa- tion about the latest innovations in tubes and pipes, manufacturing, processing machinery and tube accessories need look no further. It can all be found here at the world’s most important exhibition — the meeting point for international experts, specialists and global market leaders. Special focal point at Tube 2016: Plastic tubes. A special area is reserved for them, because the question of ma- terials is becoming more and more important. An important fixed date in your calendar — your visit to Tube 2016 in Düsseldorf!

In-plant holiday detector for FBE as well as for three-layer PE/PP coatings IN addition to its well-established portable holiday detectors, Elmed GmbH offers complete stationary holiday detection systems for the automated testing of coated pipes. Now the ISOTEST act P2 is available, especially developed for the all-in-one testing of factory coatings of all conventional coating materials. The all-rounder offers all necessary voltages for the reliable and safe testing of FBE (fusion bonded epoxy) as well as three-layer PE/PP coatings according to international standards and specifications. The North American market

can take advantage of a special version designed to meet local specifications. Thanks to flexible components and suitable accessories, not only a helical but also a circumferential testing of pipe coatings is possible with the ISOTEST

act holiday detection system. By means of the unique impulse test voltage, even fully coated pipes without “bare pipe ends” (cutback) can reliably and economically be checked for cracks and pinholes. The capacitive grounding of the pipe is applied by means of special electrodes similar to the principle of a capacitor. These electrodes can be integrated with little effort in the existing roller conveyor. The application of capacitive grounding is one of the main advantages of the impulse voltage in comparison to conventional holiday detector systems using constant DC voltages. Even damp surfaces can be tested quickly, reliably and non-destructively for absence of porosity. A large variety of test electrodes of different materials (such as stainless steel, brass or conductive rubber), shapes and sizes guarantee the safe and reliable porosity testing of coatings, linings and foils without material stress.
