Conductive Rubber Paddle
Model No. :
Brand : Defelsko
The Conductive Rubber Paddle is a highly specialized accessory designed for use with high-voltage holiday detectors, specifically to achieve precise localization of pinholes and flaws after an initial detection has been made. With a width, the paddle is instrumental in narrowing the electrical discharge area, allowing inspectors to pinpoint the exact failure point within a coating that triggered the detector’s alarm.
- Specialized tool for flaw localization
- conductive rubber width
- Pinpoints exact location of holidays in coatings
− Features
- Precision Localization: Designed to be used in conjunction with rolling spring electrodes, the paddle allows the inspector to gradually reduce the contact area to isolate the exact holiday location, which is signaled by a visible spark and the continued alarm of the detector.
- Optimal Width: The width of the rubber paddle provides a balanced contact area, wide enough to maintain an electrical connection but narrow enough to focus the high-voltage current onto the specific flaw.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from conductive rubber, the accessory is designed for frequent, practical use in the field, offering durability while maintaining the necessary electrical path to the substrate through the coating flaw.
- Ergonomic Handling: The paddle is shaped for ease of use during the precise process of localization, helping inspectors perform the technique safely and efficiently on the pipe or coating surface.
- Accessory Connector: Easily attaches to the PosiTest HHD electrode rod, ensuring stable electrical continuity from the high-voltage source to the pinpointing tool.

FAQs
What is the specific purpose of the Conductive Rubber Paddle?
Its purpose is to precisely locate the exact spot of a holiday (pinhole) on a coated surface after a high-voltage detector has initially sounded an alarm in the general area.
How is the paddle used with the high-voltage detector?
It is placed against a live electrode (like a rolling spring) and slowly moved around the pipe’s circumference until the spark and detector alarm confirm the exact point of the flaw.
What size is the contact area of the Conductive Rubber Paddle?
The paddle has a contact width of .
What material is the paddle made from?
It is constructed from conductive rubber, which ensures a reliable electrical path while being durable and relatively soft against the coating.
Is this accessory required to perform a holiday inspection?
No, it is an optional accessory that greatly assists in the localization and marking of flaws, making the repair process more efficient, but it is not necessary for the initial detection phase.
