THE NEW PATENTED POTENTIAL PROBE
Absolute Precision for Cathodic Protection
Patent No. 2020220000002267 Ministerial Patent Certificate
IRON PROBE
New reference electrode with integrated double or single coupon for off potential measurements.
The Iron Probe is a specific type of potential probe used in the context of cathodic protection, especially to measure the Eoff potential of metal structures such as pipelines, tanks and other buried steel infrastructures. Unlike traditional potential probes, the Iron Probe is designed with a high conductivity to be installed even on particularly resistive soils, obtaining Eon potential measurements very similar to the true Eoff potential.
Iron Probe Features
Discover Innovation in Cathodic Protection with IRON PROBE
IRON PROBE PresentationHigh quality material:
The porous septum (patented) of the Iron Probe is made of low resistance and high conductivity material suitable for any terrain. This allows an installation even far from the structure to measure for a significant saving of excavations and restorations by detecting a very accurate and precise measurement of the potential.
The copper sulphate (patented) allows the elimination of the leakage by capillarity.
Precision in Measurements:
One of the main features of the Iron Probe is its ability to provide very precise measurements of the potential Eon which deviates by only 20-30 mV even in high impedance soils with the true potential Eoff.
Iron Probe eliminates interference from disturbing currents that cannot be eliminated with reference electrodes.
Measuring the cathode potential with Iron Probe eliminates all voltage drops due to the electrical resistances of the circuit.
Specific Applications:
Localized Corrosion Monitoring:
The Iron Probe can be used to identify specific points along a pipeline or structure where the potential is at risk of corrosion.
Electrically Challenging Environments:
In environments where stationary and non-stationary interference can affect results, the Iron Probe provides a potential measurement that is more representative by largely eliminating unreal interference.
Operational Benefits:
Reduced Uncertainties:
Using a probe that simulates the true potential reduces the uncertainty in potential measurements, improving the reliability of the collected data.
Better Correlation with the Metal:
Unlike conventional probes, the Iron Probe provides a reading that is more closely related to the true potential Eoff, making the measurement technique simpler, eliminating measurements with the ON-OFF technique.
