Silver Chloride Reference Electrode for measuring Anodes and Cathodic Protection.
Measuring the vessel's potential voltage underwater is critical to determining if the vessel's anodes are functioning correctly and ensuring the vessel is adequately protected.
To assess the adequacy of a vessel's cathodic protection, it is imperative to measure the potential difference between the metallic surfaces and water. This involves creating connections with both the structure (the hull of the boat if alloy or steel and the electrolyte (the water). This is achieved by measuring the potential difference (voltage) in the water with a high-precision reference electrode. The reference electrode creates a connection to the electrolyte.
When conducting potential measurements on the underwater metals, the WE50 Series is connected to a high-input impedance multimeter (minimum 10 MegOhm). The electrode is then immersed in the water from the vessel's side to reach predetermined water depths. Once the electrode is at the desired depth, the potential of the metals is measured by connecting the test lead from the meter to the various underwater metals and recording the voltage displayed on the multimeter.
Two models - one for salt water and the other for fresh water.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
1. Prioritise adherence to all site safety regulations, especially if measurements are to be conducted in areas
posing potential hazards.
Attach the WE50 Series probe's test lead to the "COM" terminal of the well-calibrated high-input impedance
multimeter.
2. Configure the meter to measure DC Volts, specifically on the mV or 2V scale.
3. Establish a connection between the positive test lead of the multimeter and the metallic structure being
tested, ensuring a clean and robust connection.
4. The sensor end of the cell is safeguarded by a protective "screw storage cap." Before usage, unscrew this caр
and keep it safe.
5. Submerge the WE50 Series probe to the desired water depth in close proximity to the vessel. Record the measurement displayed on the meter.
