Overview
The CerAnode™ Silver/Silver Chloride Portable Reference Electrode is a field-ready Ag/AgCl reference electrode engineered for accurate cathodic protection potential measurement, commissioning verification, and corrosion-control field surveys. Designed for portable operation across marine structures, pipelines, tanks, and other infrastructure, the AG-AGCL-3 provides a stable reference for structure-to-electrolyte potential measurement and CP system evaluation.
Built for demanding field environments, the AG-AGCL-3 combines stable silver/silver chloride reference chemistry with a rugged portable housing and protected reference junction to maintain dependable measurement performance during repeated field use. Its stable reference potential supports accurate "on," "instant-off," and depolarized potential measurements during cathodic protection surveys and troubleshooting activities.
Engineered for corrosion engineers, field technicians, and CP survey programs, the AG-AGCL-3 integrates with digital voltmeters, interrupters, data loggers, and portable CP survey equipment. Its portable design makes it suitable for routine monitoring, system commissioning, troubleshooting, and corrosion-control assessment in marine and aqueous environments.
