  • It is durable.

StrayProbe® Zn

StrayProbe® is projected for the monitoring of the cathodic protection of all the types of buried structures. pipes, distribution networks, tanks. StrayProbe® Zn combines the advantages of cescor.zero® with the functionalities of Strayprobe® Ti.

Advantages:
  • It allows measurements on the IR free potential or true potential, of buried structures, also in presence of stray, continuous and alternated currents
  • it replaces the on-Instant-off technique
  • In accordance with EN 50162 standard, it facilitates the execution of continuous measurements, particularly in remote monitoring systems
  • It is durable.
  • It is not subject to polarization, therefore it doesn't require the use of adapters of impedance or tools to elevated impedance

Zinc Electrodes for applications in sea water

Zinc with an elevated purity reacts once in sea water as a pseudo-reference electrode, and presents an excellent stability in the time.CESCOR has realized a series of assemblings for various applications in sea water:
  • Platforms
  • Piers and other underwater metallic structures
  • Equipment.

Concrete

Corrosion in concrete – Monitoring and protection

The corrosion of the armors is the principal cause of degradation of works in concrete. Besides its inspection services, CESCOR offers specific products for the permanent monitoring.

The Ti-MMO electrode allows, very easily, the measurement of the potential of the armors and the assessment of the corrosion state of the armors in aerial civil structures. The same electrode can be employed in cathodic protection systems for reinforced concrete and for the monitoring of electric interferences in civil works such as subways and railway lines.

The MuRE probe also offers a wide range of applications for the permanent monitoring of corrosion in concrete.

In addition to monitoring, CESCOR also offers a wide range of cathodic protection solutions of the armors, both with impressed currents systems and through galvanic anodes
  • TiMMO Electrode
  • MuRE
  • Corrosion monitoring systems
  • Cathodic protection systems
  • Galvanic anodes for concrete

TiMMO Electrode

It is a permanent reference electrode for the control of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. It consists in a probe in titanium activated with mixed metals oxides enriched by iridium - and immersed in a monitored mortar that maintains the pH around the probe constant and guarantees in time the long term stability of the electrochemical potential. The applications include: corrosion monitoring, stray currents monitoring, and the control of cathodic protection.

MūRE

Mūre is a probe for the monitoring of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. It consists in a series of linear reference electrodes in nickel Ni. It supplies the mapping of potential of the steel reinforcement. It tracks the pitting ignition and it allows to preventively diagnose hydrogen embrittlement conditions in high resistivity steels. It is the only reference electrode for the monitoring of pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete structures.
