Buried permanent reference cell performance testing-an engineered approach to evaluation

摘要

There are currently no industry-standard techniques to evaluate the long-term performance of permanent reference cells for direct-burial applications. Acceptable test methods could assist the engineer in product evaluation, qualification testing, and quality assurance testing. Recent in-house testing by some manufacturers has led to the formation of a NACE Technical Exchange Group. This article presents the results of one company's test program.
