Corrosion coupon

Available in two different versions, 1 cm2 and 10 cm2, this coupon is designed to be installed along with cescor.zero®. Once connected to the cathodically protected structure, it allows the execution of IR free and current density measurements.

StrayProbe® Ti

StrayProbe® is projected for the monitoring of the cathodic protection of all the types of buried structures - pipes, distribution networks, tanks. It is constituted by a reference electrode in titanium activated with a particular formulation of metals oxides and by a steel corrosion coupon, both absorbed in monitored mortar, inside a strong non metallic container. Advantages:

It allows IR free measurements of 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 measurement, in particular in remote monitoring systems
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

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

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.
