The inspection voltage should be obtained from the coating
manufacturer's specification or by contacting the coating
manufacturer. Based on international standards, formulas and
tables can be used as a guide for setting voltages on various
coating thicknesses. A sample calculation from NACE International
Standard Practice SP0274-2011 is as follows:
V = 1,250 √T (mils)
V = 7,900 √T (mm)
NOTE:
The voltage output of the PosiTest HHD is regulated and maintains
the test voltage under normal electrode loading. When in Detection
Mode, the test voltage being generated is displayed on the
PosiTest HHD. Minor fluctuations on the display are normal during
inspection as the PosiTest HHD is regulating the test voltage.
When the electrode is connected to ground, the display will show
"---" indicating that the generated voltage is less than the minimum
of 500V.
