Reference electrodes are generally implemented for the purpose of monitoring the anode in cathodic protection of buried or immersed metallic structures.

It is made of high-purity of alloys, ensuring accuracy and stability of potential measurements. The electrode frame is made of stainless steel, coated carbon steel or Rubber. The electrode can be designed to fix in the structure. By means of specifically designed supports.

These Reference Electrode implements a major usage in the cathodic protection System. Reference Electrode are in different shapes like disc, rod and strip with different dimension, which is also installed in the Heat exchanger to monitor the current supply of Cantilever anodes.

Cantilever anode is used for protecting pipeline internals, suction and condenser box internal for 30 years and more by applying DC current with transformer rectifier. Normally titanium is well known for its high resistance to corrosion both water and chemical media but titanium is the poor electricity conductor. So we use platinum/ MMO plating/ coating to increase the conductivity.
