30 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE October 2007 Submersible Reference Electrodes revisited ROBERT M. PARK, Miller Co., Inc., Vero Beach, FloridaTh is article examines the status of Submersible Reference Electrodes and presents a new design concept for Submersible copper/copper sulfate (Cu/CuSO4) Electrodes (CSE). In the new concept, the half-cell potential is independent of the salinity (chlorinity) of the electrolyte, the electrode is not subject to contamination, and structure-to-electrolyte voltages do not require correction to the CSE scale. Although copper/saturated copper sulfate (Cu/CuSO4) solution Reference Electrodes (CSEs) are the industry standard when it comes to measuring metallic structure-to-electrolyte voltages in the corrosion control fi eld, such Electrodes are deemed unsuitable for long-term immersion ser-vice (submersion applications).1 This is because conventional CSEs have plugs (which make electrical contact with the electrolyte) that are porous.
