About Permanent Reference Cell Fontana 104w Cu/cuso4

Permanent Reference Cell Fontana 104w Cu/cuso4

Fontana Instruments offers new liquid gel permanent copper copper-sulphate reference cell to measure electrical potentials for corrosion engineers. This electrode is recommended for measurement of electric potentials at test stations, connecting to TR units and has contact points for surveying purpose.

Features

Rugged ultraviolet and chemically resistant inert long ceramic tubing. Continuous moisture retaining capability with preheated uniform and controlled ceramic porosity. Especially liquid gelled mixture surrounding with copper coil reduces electrical resistance and no requirement of moistening and works at even high temperature. Excellent shelf life and highest sensing area allows measurements with stability.

Long Life
Designed for over 25 years long life reference cell with indefinite shelf life under correct storage procedures. Reference cell does not dry out in low humidity, sandy, heat. Reference cell is suitable for most of the environments. Each reference cell is identified with unique Sr. Number.

Applications
Direct burial underground reference cell for underground pipes, tanks, TR units, and metallic structures. Reference cell is supplied with 4mm2 cable x 10 Mtr (30 feet) or as per choice of customer.

Long-Term Reliability and Maintenance

With a typical service life of 10 years, the Fontana 104w Permanent Reference Cell is built for durability. Its refillable reservoir with seal cap and removable end cap enable straightforward maintenance, ensuring optimal performance over time. Maintenance can be performed without removing the electrode from its installation site, making it ideal for buried or embedded applications.

Versatile Application Media and Installation

This reference cell is suitable for installation in soil, water, or concrete, offering flexibility for various monitoring scenarios. Its weatherproof plastic housing protects against environmental conditions, while the 5-meter cable (customizable) allows adaptable placement. The electrode can be permanently fixed in structures or buried as required.

High Measurement Accuracy and Compliance

Engineered with a high-grade copper rod and saturated copper sulfate electrolyte, the Fontana 104w cell provides consistent accuracy (5 mV). Its reference potential aligns with +318 mV vs. Standard Hydrogen Electrode and the device is compliant with NACE Standard TM0109, ensuring industry-standard reliability and performance.

FAQs of Permanent Reference Cell Fontana 104w Cu/cuso4:

Q: How do I install the Fontana 104w Permanent Reference Cell in different environments?

A: You can mount the reference cell permanently either by burying it in soil or embedding it in concrete or water environments. Ensure proper placement to maintain firm contact with the application media and connect the banana socket/lead wire terminal securely to your monitoring system.

Q: What is the typical service life and maintenance process for this Cu/CuSO4 reference cell?

A: Under normal conditions, the reference cell has a service life of up to 10 years. Maintenance involves periodically refilling the copper sulfate reservoir using the filling port and inspecting the copper rod and housing. Thanks to the removable end cap and refillable design, this process can be completed without dismounting the electrode.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this permanent reference electrode?

A: The Fontana 104w offers long-term stability, high accuracy (5 mV), and minimal maintenance. Its robust, weatherproof construction and compliance with NACE TM0109 make it a dependable choice for ongoing corrosion monitoring and potential measurements in demanding environments.

Q: When should I refill the copper sulfate reservoir, and how is it done?

A: Refill the reservoir when electrolyte levels drop due to extended use or exposure to harsh conditions. To refill, open the seal cap at the filling port, add saturated copper sulfate solution, and reseal. Frequent checks during scheduled maintenance ensure optimal performance.

Q: Where is this reference cell most commonly used?

A: The Fontana 104w is widely utilized in soil, water, and concrete environments for corrosion monitoring of buried pipelines, reinforced concrete structures, or tanks. Its design supports permanent installation in industrial, utility, and infrastructure settings across India and internationally.

Q: What makes this cell compliant with NACE Standard TM0109?

A: Compliance is achieved through the use of high-grade materials, precise reference potential measurement (+318 mV vs. SHE), and construction standards specified by NACE TM0109 for permanent reference electrodes in corrosion monitoring applications.

Q: What is the recommended temperature and pressure range for operating this electrode?

A: This reference cell functions reliably in temperatures from -10C to +70C, under atmospheric pressure up to 5 bar, and is suitable for high humidity environments due to its weatherproof housing.
