THE NEW PATENTED POTENTIAL PROBE
Absolute Precision for Cathodic Protection
Patent No. 2020220000002267 Ministerial Patent Certificate
IRON PROBE DESERT
New reference electrode with integrated double or single coupon for off potential measurements.
The Iron Probe Desert is a specific type of potential probe designed with a very high conductivity of the porous septum to be installed on dry desert sandy soils, obtaining Eon potential measurements very similar to the true Eoff potential.
The porous septum is able to retain the accumulated humidity in the soil to be able to perform a very precise and constant measurement over time, without being affected by the variation in resistance due to very dry and arid periods.
Iron Probe Desert Features
Discover Innovation in Cathodic Protection with IRON PROBE DESERT
IRON PROBE DESERT PresentationHigh quality material:
The porous septum (patented) of the Iron Probe Desert 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 Desert 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 Desert eliminates interference from disturbing currents that cannot be eliminated with reference electrodes.
Measuring the cathode potential with Iron Probe Desert eliminates all voltage drops due to the electrical resistances of the circuit.
Specific Applications:
Localized Corrosion Monitoring:
The Iron Probe Desert 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 Desert 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 data collected.
Better Correlation with the Metal:
Unlike conventional probes, the Iron Probe Desert 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.
