PPM Mk.3 SPARK TESTER

The PPM Mk.3 Spark Tester provides a quick and cost effective method of inspection on thick coatings and linings. Coating thicknesses of between 3 and 30mm can be tested. It is widely used for testing butt-welded and overlap joints in the plastics & rubber, petro-chemical and pipeline construction industries. A flexible probe is included with the unit but additional insulated extension rods and electrodes can be supplied, if required, for specific applications. However, to ensure the stability of the output voltage, large electrodes should not be used.
The recommended maximum size is 150mm for all High Frequency equipment. A specially created Accessory Kit is available which includes an executive-style carrying case and a range of electrodes suitable for use with the PPM Spark tester.
