"Holiday inspection" refers to a non-destructive testing method used to detect defects in protective coatings, typically applied to pipelines, tanks, and other infrastructure. These defects, known as "holidays" or "pinholes," can lead to corrosion and damage if left undetected. Here are the key aspects of holiday inspection:
Purpose
• Detect Coating Defects: Identify areas where the protective coating is missing, thin, or damaged.
• Prevent Corrosion: Ensure the integrity of the protective coating to prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of the structure.
• Quality Control: Verify the quality and consistency of coating applications.
