Reference electrodes are crucial tools for measuring the cathodic protection potentials of buried or immersed metallic structures. Traditionally, these electrodes utilize porous ceramic junction plates to facilitate ionic exchange between the internal and external electrolytes. However, this design can lead to copper plating on coupon surfaces and introduce errors due to the increased platinum surface area exposed to the electrolytes.
Our innovative solution addresses these limitations by replacing the porous ceramic junction plate with a metallic platinum wire. This modification effectively eliminates copper plating and minimizes the platinum surface area exposed to the electrolytes, significantly reducing experimental errors.
Lab tests comparing the performance of our reference electrode with traditional designs have confirmed its superior accuracy and reliability. This enhanced reference electrode is an ideal choice for accurate cathodic protection monitoring, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your metallic structures.
