The top caps of the Model RE-5, RE-5C and RE-7 are heavy and strong. They are machined out of high-density polyethylene rod, and are extra thick where the copper rod is threaded through. A neoprene gasket provides a liquid and air tight seal. The top cap of the Model RE-3A is molded Cycolac, as is the plug receptacle.
The brilliant orange color of the Lexan tube was selected to provide an electrode which can be readily seen in grass, and to help locate it when it is placed remotely or when it breaks loose from the "pull-in" lead. Some of its other advantages include:
The M.C. Miller Co., Inc. "RE-" series of electrodes provides three areas of improvement over other electrodes formerly available. These are: a Lexan Tube, a CPT ceramic plug, and a strong top cap with a 1/4" high-purity copper rod with 1/4 x 20 external thread and brass knurled nut. The CPT ceramic plugs offer numerous advantages, including:
Our reference electrodes are state-of-the-art with regard to materials selection, fabrication techniques and performance and we provide a variety of designs to satisfy numerous applications in the corrosion and cathodic protection areas.
Information on the nature of structure-to-electrolyte readings taken using different reference electrode types is provided in an article published in NACE's Materials Performance magazine titled, .
M. C. Miller manufactures a wide range of portable copper/copper sulphate and silver/silver chloride reference electrodes, as well as copper/copper sulphate and silver/silver chloride reference electrodes designed for permanent installation applications.
