Sintered Ag AgCl electrode Reference Electrodes For Industrial Processing And Environmental Monitoring
The potential Silver/Silver Chloride has a quick response and is extremely stable, making it perfect as a reference electrode for monitoring corrosion, for example in the hulls of boats or underground pipes.
Sintered Ag/AgCl reference electrodes are used to measure structure/electrolyte potentials on steel structures in seawater in the application of cathodic protection, as well as many applications in industrial processing and environmental monitoring.
We have experience in corrosion monitoring and corrosion protection methods such as cathodic protection.
