Elcometer 270 Pinhole Detector

The Elcometer 270 Pinhole Detector is a professional-grade, low-voltage instrument that sets a new standard in holiday detection for thin and delicate coatings. Using the industry‑standard wet‑sponge method (≤ 90 V), it reliably identifies microscopic pores without damaging the coating—ideal for powder, thin film, or insulated finishes up to 500 µm (20 mils. Product Capabilities Voltage selection: Dual‑voltage (9 V & 90 V) or triple‑voltage (9 V, 67.5 V, 90 V for U.S. standards) Max coating thickness: up to 300 µm at 9 V; 500 µm at higher voltages Auto-calibration: Self-tests voltage/sensitivity on start-up or voltage change Alerts: Visual LED and audible beeps signal pinhole detection and low battery Wand versatility: Integral or removable wand; multiple interchangeable tips for reach and surface types Industries of Use Protective coatings & corrosion monitoring Industrial finishing & powder coating lines Aerospace & automotive paint testing Marine
