OVERVIEW

Precise Verification for Passivation Testing

The Walter 48R495 Stainless Steel Plate (Validation Positive) is a critical accessory for quality control professionals utilizing SURFOX Passivation Testers. In the realm of stainless steel finishing, verifying the passive layer is essential for preventing corrosion and ensuring the longevity of the material. However, the reliability of your test results is only as good as the calibration of your equipment. This validation plate serves as a known reference standard, simulating a perfectly passivated stainless steel surface.

Designed specifically for use with Walter's electrochemical testing units, this plate allows operators to perform a quick and definitive functional check before beginning their inspection rounds. By placing the tester's probe on this plate, the device should register a 'Positive' or 'Pass' reading, confirming that the sensors and internal electronics are interpreting electrochemical potential correctly. This step is vital for adhering to ISO standards and maintaining rigorous quality assurance protocols in pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and architectural industries.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the 48R495 is built to maintain its reference properties over time, provided it is stored and handled correctly. It is an indispensable tool for NDT technicians who require absolute confidence in their readings. Whether you are troubleshooting a tester that is giving inconsistent results or simply performing a daily pre-shift check, this positive validation plate eliminates guesswork and validates your equipment's readiness.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Standardized Reference: Provides a consistent baseline for 'Pass' readings on SURFOX testers.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Assists in meeting calibration verification requirements for quality audits.
  • Durable Material: High-quality stainless steel ensures the reference surface remains stable.

FAQ

It is a reference standard used to verify that your SURFOX Passivation Tester is correctly detecting a passivated surface (a 'Positive' result).

It is recommended to use the validation plate before every shift or testing session to ensure your equipment is calibrated and functioning properly.

It is a verification tool rather than a calibration tool. It confirms the machine is reading correctly, but internal calibration adjustments should be done according to the manual.

Yes, Walter typically offers a negative validation plate (often SKU 48R496) to verify that the machine can detect non-passivated surfaces.

This plate is specifically designed for the electrochemical potential range used by Walter SURFOX testers. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

Keep it clean and dry, preferably in a protective sleeve or the tester's case, to prevent surface contamination that could affect readings.

If the tester reads 'Fail' or 'Non-Passive' on this plate, check your probe, electrolyte fluid, and connections. The tester may require service.

It is manufactured from a specific grade of stainless steel treated to provide a stable reference potential for the test.
