An Overview of Significant Updates to High Voltage Holiday Detection Standards (NACE SP0188/SP0274/SP0490, ASTM D5612/G62, ISO 29601)

Product Number: 51324-21164-SG

High Voltage Holiday Detectors are commonly used to locate pinholes in coatings by generating a spark when an electrode passes over an area of bare substrate. Pinholes and areas of a non-continuous coating film can provide a direct path for premature failure of the coated asset. Historically a rule of thumb across the coating industry had been to utilize 100 volts per mil of coating as the recommended voltage setting for holiday detection. A paper presented at a recent AMPP conference1 provided compelling evidence, and confirmed industry suspicions, that the rule of thumb and test voltages specified by nearly every published standard were inadequate to reliably detect all holidays. In response, industry stakeholders worked to build consensus and update the relevant standards with science-based and experimentally-proven specifications that help ensure High Voltage Holiday Detectors are used appropriately, and with the correct voltage settings, to reliably detect holidays. This paper provides a review of these updates.

NACE SP0188-2024, Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of New Protective Coatings on Conductive Substrates

Product Number: NACE SP0188-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

The purpose of this standard is to provide the means of detecting pinholes, flaws, or holidays in a coating system that may result in its premature failure, thereby possibly decreasing the life expectancy of the asset. This standard documents the equipment and the process of using electrical current to identify these holidays in a repeatable and realistic manner for both field and shop coating applications.

Product Number: NACE TM0384-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This nondestructive test method describes a procedure to detect discontinuities (“holidays”) in thin-film polymeric coatings of less than 330 µm (13 mils) dry film thickness (DFT) applied to the internal surfaces of metallic tubular goods used in the oil and gas industry. The apparatus and the recommended procedure for performing the test are described, as are methods of reporting the test data.

A separate test method, NACE TM0186, addresses holiday detection of internal tubular good coatings of 330 to 760 µm (13 to 30 mils) dry-film thickness.
