Description

The ESMS-M2-VE model is an installation for monitoring the condition of underground metal objects. It should be ordered when accurate control of corrosion changes of pipelines and other steel structures is required. The modernized copper sulfate reference electrodes are equipped with an auxiliary electrode and have two membranes.

Technical description

To ensure a stable electrolytic junction between the reference electrode and the soil electrolyte at the level of the lowest resistance required when performing specific measurements of protective potential values, an ion-exchange ceramic membrane with standardized porosity is used in the long-life reference electrode. The internal cavity of the outer housing is filled with a contact electrolytic mass based on bentonite clay. The inner housing of KMG-MES-02-(P-K)-(G-T)-VE-M is filled with a gel-like saturated copper solution in which the electrode is located in the form of a spiral made of pure refined copper.

Under certain soil conditions, such as increased soil resistivity, the so-called “arid soils”, the KMG-MES-02-(P-K)-(G-T)-VE-M reference electrode gains higher stability and durability due to the fact that the outer housing is filled with a special moisture-retaining electrolytic mass based on bentonite.

To ensure convenient installation and subsequent operation of the products, the cables of the reference electrode and the auxiliary electrode are equipped with cable lugs for connection to KIP.
