SYCHEM manufactures and supplies stationary reference electrode for onshore CP systems.
Copper Sulfate half-cell (CSE) is the most commonly used reference electrode in Cathodic Protection corrosion control systems for onshore applications.
The redox reaction between a pure copper coil immersed in a saturated solution of copper sulfate CuSO4 used to find out a highly stable electrode potential.
Their high-porous terracotta base allow an efficient ion current exchange with the surrounding electrolyte, minimizing the risk of electrode’s polarization and allowing a stable and easy potential reading even in hard and high-resistivity soils.
Our standard stationary CSE for installation in dry and high resistivity soils electrodes come pre-packaged in chemical backfill to ensure superior and long lasting humidity retention.
Stationary CSE reference electrodes must be installed in vertical position at a maximum distance of 30-50 cm from the structure to me monitored. Prior to installation, ensure humidity absorption by soaking the electrode in fresh water for at least 24 hours.
