CIT & Holiday Testing The Integrity test and Holiday test are critical methods for evaluating coating performance and durability. The Integrity test assesses the overall quality and uniformity of protective coatings, ensuring they are free from defects such as cracks, pinholes, or weak spots that could compromise protection. The Holiday test, a more specific technique, detects flaws in non-conductive coatings applied over conductive surfaces. By applying a voltage across the coating, the test identifies defects through sparks or alarms. Both tests are widely used in industries like oil and gas, marine, and infrastructure to ensure coatings effectively prevent corrosion and enhance structural longevity.
