Detailed Description
- Low and high temperatures (up to 1200 °C)
- Long term measurement at 660°C
- Useful for long term diagnostics (up to 30 years)
- Wide range of metallic, conductive and semi-conductive materials use
- Wireless access and on-line diagnostics
- Measuring during running conditions (heating, cooling, vibrating, deforming, …)
- Material degradation diagnostics by using of MDAPD Modified Direct and Alternating current Potential Drop technique (ACPD/DCPD/Corrected DCPD)
- Measurement applications (accuracy 1 ‰, resolution 0.01‰)
