Overview
The Copper/Copper Sulfate Portable Reference Electrode is a field-ready Cu/CuSO₄ reference electrode engineered for accurate cathodic protection potential measurement, commissioning verification, and corrosion-control field surveys. Designed for portable operation across pipelines, tanks, and buried infrastructure, the CS-CU3 delivers stable structure-to-electrolyte potential measurement for reliable “pipe-to-soil” testing and CP system evaluation.
Built for demanding field environments, the CS-CU3 combines stable Cu/CuSO₄ reference chemistry with a refillable electrolyte chamber, porous ceramic junction, and rugged portable housing to maintain dependable measurement performance during repeated survey use. Its low-polarization design supports accurate “on,” “instant-off,” and depolarized potential measurement in accordance with industry-standard CP testing practices.
Engineered for corrosion engineers, field technicians, and CP survey programs, the CS-CU3 integrates seamlessly with voltmeters, interrupters, data loggers, and portable survey equipment for routine monitoring, commissioning, troubleshooting, and integrity assessment activities.
