FAQs

  • Yes, we are compatible with most systems on the market, the only other requirement for electronic devises reading our electrodes is that they have a minimum internal impedance of 20 megohms.

  • There are really no advantages, with the evolution of our medical grade ceramic sensing element, the practice of backfilling electrodes has become obsolete, we do understand that many specifications still call for packaged electrodes and when requested we can provide them.

  • Borin products are sold through a network of stocking distributors worldwide, the only exception to this is when an end user company has a special request or needs something expedited, we will then work direct but appoint credit to the closest distributor in a given area.

  • Yes, Borin is the only company that offer electrodes that work in hydro carbon contaminated environments, please refer to our HCP electrodes on our web site.

  • 3-5 days and sometimes faster when needed.

  • There are many variables considered when choosing the correct reference electrode, it’s best to contact us and speak to one of our application engineers to discuss your individual application.

  • Coupon electrodes need a relay function to facilitate the many functions they provide, many to interrupt the protection current that is applied for the cathodic protection.

  • There are many, because the coupon/coupons, Cathodic protection coupons are a proven way to determine the polarization level of a structure and to determine the IR drop error that is always associated with structure to soil potential measurement. In addition, coupons allow the measurement of AC and DC current densities.

  • ER probes offer several advantages in Cathodic Protection (CP) systems, including continuous, real-time corrosion monitoring, the ability to measure corrosion rates directly under applied CP, versatility in various challenging environments (gases, soils, fluids), and the capability to detect even small amounts of metal loss with high precision.

  • BORIN STELTH reference cells are unique in Cathodic Protection (CP) systems because their solid-state, non-leaching electrolyte means they never need recharging or recalibrating, unlike traditional liquid/gel cells. They also feature an ion trap technology to protect the internal chemistry from contaminants like hydrogen sulfide and excess chlorides, allowing them to remain accurate and functional for their entire lifespan in harsh and diverse environments, including those chemically detrimental to other types of reference cells.
