HydroFlex Hydrogen Reference Electrode Starter Kit (GAS-81000)
OVERVIEW
The HydroFlex Starter Kit contains the standard HydroFlex hydrogen reference electrode (Item No: GAS-81010), which is also available separately. The Starter Kit differs through the additional accessories supplied: a replacement hydrogen cartridge, test lead, cartridge wrench and operating-time wrench. Gaskatel describes the package as suitable for users who have not previously worked with HydroFlex.
The included HydroFlex is a platinum-hydrogen reference electrode for standard-compliant electrochemical potential measurements. It contains a replaceable internal hydrogen source and no internal electrolyte, eliminating ion discharge and diffusion potential. The electrode is particularly suitable for corrosion measurements and long-term measurements of up to 6 months.
