STELTH 8

BORIN STELTH ® 8 Solid-State Stationary Reference Electrodes for Storage Tank Thru-Hull Applications

  • Palladium
  • Copper
  • Silver
  • Zinc

PALLADIUM: Until now, hydrocarbons proved deadly to all available reference electrode chemistries, including industry staples copper, silver, and zinc.
The applications for the new STELTH HCP are limitless.

Problem zones which have stunted use of traditional chemistries is another place the STELTH HCP will succeed – such as areas that have too many parts per million of chlorides for silver reference electrodes.

COPPER: For chloride free environments.

SILVER: For environments with chloride.

ZINC: For chloride free environments. 

One example of our customized reference electrodes is the STELTH 8, designed for thru-hull applications of boats or storage tanks.

The STELTH 8 is robust; it’s built with 18.8 Stainless steel fittings and a ceramic plug similar to the STELTH 2 with our proprietary Moisture Retention Membrane (MRM™).

Depending on the chemistry you choose for the STELTH 8, it can be used in both fresh water and/or high-chloride water service (such as the ocean).

It features a special porous ceramic that allows the removal and re-entry of the STELTH 8 into liquids without damaging the reference electrode.

Just a few reasons BORIN STELTH solid-state reference electrodes are unique:

  • Never need recharging or recalibrating
  • Impregnated with membrane that keeps electrolytes from drying out or getting contaminated
  • Trap hydrogen sulfide or excess chloride ions before they cause damage
  • Let you know when you have dangerous levels of AC to deal with
  • Can thrive in ALL environments, even those chemically detrimental to other reference electrodes
  • Remain accurate for their lifetime
  • Won’t die every winter

BORIN stands behind every STELTH reference electrode you buy:

  • We test EVERY SINGLE reference electrode we make
  • You can track/trace any STELTH
  • Every STELTH is calibrated for the life of the cell
  • Our STELTH reference electrodes will work for years and remain stable after you retire
