Reference Electrode
products introduction
Reference electrode in the cathodic protection system provides a stable and known potential reference benchmark. By measuring the potential of the protected metal (such as pipelines, storage tanks, hulls, etc.) relative to the reference electrode, the monitoring, regulation and effect evaluation of the cathodic protection system can be achieved.

|
Advantage |
Low cost, stable potential, easy installation | Moderate cost, no need for electrolyte maintenance, suitable for high-salt environments | Long lifespan, strong corrosion resistance, and less affected by temperature. |
|
Disadvantage |
Poor salt tolerance and the electrolyte is prone to contamination | The potential is greatly influenced by the environment and has a relatively short lifespan. | High cost,it is necessary to avoid a strongly reducing environment. |
|
Applicable ambient |
Fresh water and soil (Buried steel pipelines, underground storage tanks, freshwater lake steel piles) |
Seawater, saline soil, low-resistance soil (with good conductivity) (Seawater aquaculture cages, salt fields equipment, small storage tanks in low-resistance soil) |
Seawater, high-salt soil environment (Ship hull, steel piles at the wharf, submarine pipeline, large storage tanks in high-salt soil) |
