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.
