Application Notes:

The Model CP-GRA should be installed as close as possible to the rebar where measurements are to be taken. A graphite probe is not an equivalent substitute for an Ag/AgCl reference electrode such as the EDI Model CB-AGG. The rest potential of graphite is dependent upon the oxygen level in the surrounding concrete. Consequently, its potential can show long term variations of 150 mV or more. Therefore, a graphite probe should only be used as a short term stable reference point for measurements such as E log I, instant off or potential decay.
