FAQs of Solid State Polarization Cell:
Q: How do I install the Solid State Polarization Cell in the field?
A: Installation is simple due to its handheld and portable design. Connect the included 1.5-meter cable using the banana plug terminal to your monitoring instrument and place the cell in contact with the media to be measured, such as pipeline surfaces or storage tanks.
Q: What applications benefit most from this polarization cell?
A: This cell is ideal for corrosion monitoring of pipelines and storage tanks, especially in outdoor or field environments where durability, accuracy, and ease of use are essential for effective preventive maintenance.
Q: When should I expect to replace the batteries, and what type should I use?
A: The cell runs on 2x 1.5V AA batteries and delivers up to 24 months of operation under typical usage. Replace the batteries with standard AA types as the display indicates low battery or after extensive continuous use.
Q: Where should I store the polarization cell when not in use?
A: For optimal longevity, store the cell in a dry environment and avoid direct sunlight, which helps preserve the integrity of its electrode and electronic components.
Q: What is involved in the maintenance process for this device?
A: No periodic maintenance is required due to its solid state reference electrode and robust construction. Routine cleaning of the exterior may be performed if necessary, but the electrode itself is designed for long-life, maintenance-free operation.
Q: How is the output signal used for monitoring corrosion?
A: The device outputs millivolt signals (0 to 2000 mV), which are read directly on the large LCD display. These readings help determine the electrochemical condition of assets, enabling proactive corrosion management based on precise measurements.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a Solid State Polarization Cell for corrosion monitoring?
A: Users benefit from portable, accurate, and easy-to-use measurements with minimal maintenance. The cells IP65 protection, reliable long-life electrode, and extended battery operation ensure dependable performance in challenging field environments, significantly reducing operational interruptions.
