Description
ECSM-P-VE can be purchased in several modifications. They are intended for measurements on pipelines for various purposes. Using reference electrodes allows determining the level of metal corrosion protection.
The device is designed for underground work. All measurements are performed on structures located below ground level. ECS must be installed above the underground object and placed below the soil freezing level. For measurements in soft soils, the package includes a tip. ECSM-P-VE for hard soils should be ordered with a plug-type tip.
Inside the housing, there is a copper electrode. It is placed in copper sulfate. The measuring element itself is fixed on an aluminum tube. For convenient handling, the tube has a rubberized layer. The electrode cable is led to a terminal. Two types of ECS are available for sale:
- ECS-1.2 – designed for intensive work and equipped with a full-size handle;
- ECS-0.4 – has a shortened handle and is used as a stationary measuring device.
ECSM-P-VE is additionally equipped with an auxiliary electrode (VE). The VE is made of steel in the form of a ring. The additional electrode is located on the side of the unit housing. The price of ECSM-P-VE depends on the selected model and additional components.
Each ECS wire has terminals for connection and labeling plates. This significantly simplifies operation and maintenance of the device. Copper sulfate electrodes can be used at temperatures from -5°C to +45°C.
