Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cathode protection current potential test piles, in particular to a cathode protection current potential test pile. Background Art

[0002] Cathodic protection test pile is an indispensable device in the cathodic protection system of long-distance pipelines. It is mainly used for the detection of pipeline kilometer indication, cathodic protection effect and operating parameters. The test pile is designed as a multifunctional test pile, which is used for the detection of cathodic protection parameters and is an indispensable device in pipeline management and maintenance.

[0003] A terminal block is provided inside the cathodic protection test pile, through which the anode line, pipeline line, reference line and test piece line are connected. The lower end of the cathodic protection test pile is usually buried underground together with the anode package, reference electrode and pipeline line. Intelligent cathodic protection test piles usually use detectors for automatic detection, which is more convenient for collecting cathodic protection parameters, but the detectors are usually powered by batteries, which need to be replaced when the battery runs out of power. At the same time, since each line is buried deep underground, the connection where the line enters the cathodic protection test pile is mixed with mud and is easily corroded, reducing the service life of the cathodic protection test pile. For this reason, we propose a cathodic protection current potential test pile. Utility Model Content
