Custom Portable and Immersion Reference Electrodes

Electrochemical Devices, Inc. works with design and corrosion engineers to produce reference electrodes for those applications where our standard models may require modification.  Customization can be as simple as a minor change in dimensions, or it may be more complex such as a complete re-design of the housing.  If it is simple, it is only necessary to consult with us before ordering to ensure the change does not affect the functionality of the product.  When the design requires major modifications, we will prepare a drawing of the proposed product for engineering approval.  At that time the custom product is assigned a unique model number, IX, followed by a two digit sequence number to simplify re-ordering in the future.  We do not charge design fees for this service, and in most cases the custom product is priced comparably to a similar standard product.  For all custom designed products we use the same full featured electrodes used in our standard products.  Listed below are some of the custom portable and immersion reference electrodes we have designed.  To see drawings of these products, download the Custom Portable and Immersion References datasheet.

IX01
Model IX01 is a Model IR with a 1 inch IPS PVC socket fitting on the wire end and a ¾ inch IPS PVC socket fitting on the membrane end.
IX02 Model IX02 is a weighted immersion reference electrode connected to its lead wire by a separable waterproof connector.  This allows it to be easily removed from the drop wire for storage.
IX03 Model IX03 is a zinc immersion reference for seawater use.  It is a heavy-duty version of Model IP-ZIN.
IX04 Model IX04 is a variant of Model IT portable reference electrode in which the length has been extended to 8 ¼ inches (21 cm).
IX05 Model IX05 is a Model IR with a 1 inch IPS PVC socket fitting on the wire end.
IX06 Model IX06 is a Model IR with a detachable weight.
IX07 Model IX07 is a reduced diameter version of the Model IR; the maximum diameter is 1 1/8 inches (2.9 cm).
IX08 Model IX08 is a Model IR with a 30 year design life.  Its length has been increased to 12 inches (30 cm).
IX09 Model IX09 is a dual element reference electrode mounted on a steel bracket for direct welding to the structure.  One element is zinc, the other element is Ag/AgCl/seawater.
IX10 Model IX10 is a Model IR with an integral salt bridge attached to the membrane end.  The bridge can be up to 42 inches (106 cm) long.
IX11 Model IX11 was a prototype of the Model UT undertank reference electrode.
IX12 Model IX12 is a Model IR with an detachable salt bridge on the membrane end.  The bridge can be up to 42 inches (106 cm) long.
IX13 Model IX13 is a zinc reference electrode with a custom housing 22 mm diameter x 200 mm long.
IX14 Model IX14 is an immersible zinc reference electrode with a 1 inch NPT 316L stainless steel housing and G-10 glass reinforced epoxy probe extension.
IX15 Model IX15 is a Model IR-AGG immersion reference electrode with a copper jacket.  It is resistant to biofouling in seawater.
IX16 Model IX16 is a Model IR with a 35 year design life.  Its length has been reduced to 8 inches (20 cm) and the diameter increased to 2 5/8 inches (6.6 cm).
IX17 Model IX17 is an immersion reference electrode mounted on a 2 inch IPS flange.
