Description
KU.KMG Installation Container
It is recommended to purchase the KU.KMG installation container for performing installation works related to the installation of copper sulfate reference electrodes (CSE).
The installation container model can be ordered in several length options. The use of KU allows unobstructed installation of the reference electrode and diagnostics of its operability. With the help of the installation container, reliable and simple fixation of the copper sulfate reference electrode is ensured.
The design and dimensions of the container are shown in Figure 1.

Product specifications
The inner diameter of the installation container is 16 cm, and the standard length provided by the manufacturer is 220 cm. The customer may specify the required container length when placing an order; the price of the KU.KMG for reference electrodes will be adjusted accordingly.
The container body is made of plasticized PVC and complies with GOST requirements. The KU.KMG is equipped with terminal clamps for connecting the cable and routing it further to the test post (KIP). The measurement cable outlets are fully sealed.
To ensure electrolytic contact with the soil, the lower part of the container has circular perforation. The upper part of the KU is fitted with a cover with a gasket to ensure tightness of the housing. Delivery of the installation container and its length parameters are agreed individually. The service life specified by the manufacturer is at least 15 years.
The scheme for installing the reference electrode in the KU.KMG installation container is shown in Figure 2. The recommended distance between the container and the protected structure is 100–150 mm.
