About Spark Tester

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of Elcometer, UK Pinhole & Porosity (Coating Detector/Spark Tester) used for detecting pinholes and flaws in insulated coatings, this detector is provided in different specifications as per the different needs of the clients.The Elcometer 236 Holiday Detector / Spark Tester provides high voltage porosity testing to detect pits, flaws, holes, etc. in a wide variety of non-metallic coatings.

The Elcometer 236's convenient carrying case allows the probe handle and accessories to be attached to the front making the Elcometer 236 Holiday Tester ideal for field, site or laboratory inspection.

An accessory pouch, which accommodates the additional rechargeable battery (optional) can also be attached to the soft carrying case - thereby extending inspection time without the need for recharging the unit.

Features:

Robust and fully portable
Audio and visual alarms for noisy environments
Supplied with a band brush probe
Digital display of output voltage or current
Adjustable sensitivity
15kV and 30kV options available with fully adjustable output voltage

It is available in two versions: 15kV and 30 kV. Each unit provides the user with complete control of voltage and sensitivity settings.

Each unit is supplied in a convenient carrying case which also holds the probe handle and an additional (optional) external re-chargeable battery pack which doubles the testing time available.

Due to unique design, the probe handle can be replaced with a telescopic probe handle - extending the measurement reach up to almost 4m (13'), ideal for testing on large structures.

Accessories :

Telescopic probe handle, 600 - 1200mm (24 - 47")
Telescopic probe handle, 1800 - 3600mm (71 - 142")
2m (6.5') earth signal return lead
10m (32') earth signal return lead
External battery pack

The detector can be used in the carry case or removed from the case for use as appropriate. The carry case can also be used to store and protect the detector when it is being carried to a job.The kit is supplied in an outfit case that is also convenient for transportation and long term storage.

Wide Applicability and Compliance

Supporting insulation tests for single specimens with diameters up to 15 mm at widths up to 50 mm, this tester is suitable for a variety of cable jacket materials. The spark tester meets IS 4810 and IEC 62230 standards, ensuring compliance for professional distributors, exporters, importers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers across India.

FAQs of Spark Tester:

Q: How does the Spark Tester detect insulation defects in cables?

A: The Spark Tester utilizes a brass bead chain electrode to apply a high-voltage spark across coated wires or cables. If insulation is insufficient, a leakage current (as sensitive as 1 mA) triggers the buzzer and LED alarm, promptly signaling a defect.

Q: What are the types and sizes of cables that can be tested with this device?

A: This equipment is suitable for a variety of cables, including PVC, XLPE, and rubber types, accommodating specimens up to 15 mm in diameter and test widths up to 50 mm.

Q: When should the Spark Tester be used in the cable manufacturing or inspection process?

A: This tester is best employed during final quality assurance or periodic inspection stages to efficiently verify the integrity of cable insulation before dispatch or installation.

Q: Where can this Spark Tester be utilized?

A: Due to its robust construction and portable design, the tester is suitable for both laboratory and industrial environments, meeting widespread needs of distributors, exporters, suppliers, and quality control teams throughout India.

Q: What is the process for operating the Spark Tester and adjusting test settings?

A: Place the cable specimen in the test slot, set your desired test voltage and stroke via the rotary switch and push buttons, and adjust the speed manually. The device automatically signals faults via the LED and buzzer if insulation integrity is compromised.

Q: How does using this Spark Tester benefit quality control processes?

A: With its quick response time (<2 seconds), high accuracy, and comprehensive alarm system, the tester efficiently ensures cable insulation quality, helping prevent field failures and improving operational safety and compliance.
