Reference electrodes play a key role in cathodic protection systems designed to prevent corrosion of underground steel pipelines and structures.

Their application is based on the ability to measure polarization and total potentials, which makes it possible to effectively monitor and maintain optimal conditions of electrochemical interaction.

PES-01-(K)-G-VE portable copper sulfate reference electrodes with an auxiliary electrode provide accurate potential data on corrosion-prone facilities (oil and gas pipelines), which is critical for assessing the effectiveness of the protection system.

Regular monitoring of polarization potential helps prevent undesirable electrochemical reactions, contributing to the preservation of the integrity of steel pipeline lines and underground facilities.

Reference electrodes are an integral part of infrastructure. Their use helps extend service life and increase the efficiency and reliability of transport systems and structures under underground operating conditions.

Advantages

PES-01-(K)-G-VE portable copper sulfate reference electrodes with an auxiliary electrode are ready for use and do not require additional preparation or electrolyte filling.

The reference electrode is placed in a durable container made of material resistant to mechanical damage.

Efficiency is achieved through capillary channels of the outer ceramic membrane with standardized porosity, through which electrolytic contact is formed. This ensures stable operation over a long period.

The cable length is not regulated and can be any. The customer determines the required cable length for the facility.

The advantage of using a bentonite chamber in PES-01-(K)-G-VE portable copper sulfate reference electrodes with an auxiliary electrode is the prevention of mutual diffusion of electrolyte between the electrode and the soil. This ensures stability and efficiency over long-term operation.

One of the important parameters is spreading resistance, which is at least 5 kΩ.

The potential relative to a laboratory silver/silver chloride reference electrode is 100±20 mV, indicating the accuracy and reliability of measurements performed using this system.
