Description
We offer copper sulfate single-membrane reference electrodes based on a solid electrolyte with an auxiliary electrode, modernized type KMG-MES-01-(K)-T-VE-M, which are used in cathodic protection systems for underground steel pipelines and structures, as well as in water, in aqueous electrolyte solutions – produced water from watered crude oil, oil, diesel fuel, gas condensate, fuel oil, and vacuum gas oil. KMG-MES-01-(K)-T-VE-M is a stationary device with a long service life for measuring polarization and total potentials.
KMG-MES-01-(K)-T-VE-M are installed directly in the soil at the level of the lower generatrix of the protected structure, at a distance of no more than 0.1 m. The installation depth is selected according to the location of the underground metal structure. It is important that KMG-MES-01-(K)-T-VE-M is located below the soil freezing depth. The cables are equipped with terminals for connection to the terminal panel in KIP or in a cover.
Equipped with an auxiliary electrode made of carbon steel with a contact area of at least 625 mm2. They can also be used as portable units.
Advantages
The product is supplied fully factory-ready for operation, i.e., it does not require prolonged pre-soaking before installation in the soil to activate the electrolytic junction.
The housing of KMG-MES-01-(K)-T-VE-M is made of impact-resistant frost-resistant material and is completely sealed.
Electrolytic contact with the soil is formed through capillary channels of the external ceramic membrane with standardized porosity.
The length of the cables of the reference electrode and the auxiliary electrode is not fixed and is specified by the customer.
The presence of an additional chamber (double-membrane reference electrodes) eliminates mutual diffusion of the electrode electrolyte and soil electrolyte by using a solid-state electrolyte based on bentonite.
You can order reference electrodes from us with delivery at an attractive price.
