Description
The Platinum Redox Sensor should be used in conjunction with the 9999 Cathodic Protection Reference Electrode and BNC Adapter.
The REDOX potential is measured in mV and is a measure of the Corrosion potential of the water in which metal structures are in contact. The main use will be for Boat owners wishing to detect and Stray DC current and locate its source. This can be very damaging and expensive and is otherwise impossible to detect without testing the water or the Hull potential.
A highly oxidising solution such as Chlorinated water can have REDOX potentials over 600mV where clean river water may have potential of around 50-150mV.
Measuring the REDOX potential can alert you to changes in the corrosion potential of water. It is particularly useful to Boat Owners wishing to protect metal Hulls. REDOX potentials will be lower near Grounding rods in Marinas and can give a good indication of corrosive environments. This could be caused by stray direct current from poorly earthed appliances and shore power.
The Platinum REDOX Sensor has a 25mm Rugged waterproof body and 5 metre cable. This makes this sensor ideal for any field work.
