Materials for Concrete Cathodic Protection
BSS Technologies supplies specialized reference electrodes and non-metallic installation accessories for concrete cathodic protection. We provide the essential components needed to monitor and secure your concrete CP systems effectively.
Essential Components for Concrete CP
Protecting steel reinforcement inside concrete requires precise electrical monitoring and secure anode placement. Our dedicated material kits are engineered specifically for highly alkaline concrete environments, providing the exact hardware needed for reliable long-term system operation.
BSS Technologies supplies complete accessory packages featuring Ag/AgCl and MMO pseudo reference electrodes for stable potential measurement. We pair these with specialized non-metallic rebar clips and heavy-duty cable ties to maintain strict electrical isolation during installation.
Our Specialized Concrete CP Materials
To maintain a strong defence against chloride-induced rebar corrosion, we supply the following dedicated materials for concrete cathodic protection systems.
Silver / Silver Chloride Reference Electrode (Ag/AgCl : KCl)
This electrochemical reference cell is specially designed for concrete embedment to provide highly stable, long-term potential tracking of steel reinforcement. Cast directly into the concrete matrix, it functions as a baseline sensor, allowing engineers to measure the real-time polarization potential of steel rebars accurately.
Specially engineered for concrete installations
Features high stability and long operational life
Uses high purity silver and silver chloride
Provides stable potential under microamp loads
Maintains accuracy from minus 5°C up to 70°C
Pseudo (MMO) Reference Electrode
The Pseudo reference electrode utilizes a highly durable Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) catalyst sintered onto a Grade 1 titanium substrate. It is specifically deployed to measure rapid, instantaneous potential shifts, such as depolarization shift measurements, where traditional reference cells can suffer from polarization lag.
Measures rapid potential shifts in concrete
Ideal for rebar depolarization shift tracking
Utilizes a Mixed Metal Oxide catalyst coating
Grade 1 titanium substrate as per ASTM B265
Offers an expected service life over 75 years
Active element measures 100mm(L) x 10mm(W)
Rebar Clips
These non-metallic support clamps are designed to position and secure the titanium ribbon mesh anode or conductor bar to the concrete steel reinforcement cage before concrete casting. By mechanically isolating the active anode from the steel rebar, they prevent metal-to-metal short circuits that would disable the cathodic protection system.
Positions ribbon mesh anodes on reinforcement
Secures active anodes firmly prior to casting
Non metallic material prevents electrical shorts
Engineered with a diameter range of 20 to 22 mm
Designed as a durable non metallic clamp
Cable Ties
Heavy-duty, non-metallic cable ties are utilized to securely fasten anode components, conductor bars, and auxiliary hardware within the rebar cage. They provide a reliable method to organize and route cables from the concrete embedment zone directly to the designated concrete exit location, safeguarding wires from damage during concrete placement.
Fastens anode components to the rebar cage
Guides cables safely to concrete exit locations
High durability non metallic construction
Offers an expected life of over 25 years
Accommodates cable diameters from 82 to 110 mm
