ABSTRACT:
A reference electrode for use in measuring electrochemical corrosion potential and pH of, for example, water in a drum boiler at supercritical temperatures and which is corrosive includes an alumina or zirconia tube which is packed with a bulk solid electrolyte. The electrolyte consists of a mixture of silver chloride and glass in an optimally 2 to 4 weight ratio or glass particles with silver chloride precipitated around each particle. A solidified silver chloride electrode interfaces with the bulk electrolyte and has embedded in it a conductive silver electrode which provides the electrical contact. Use of the foregoing provides an immobilized solid electrolyte which displays stability and integrity as the temperature and pressure cycles between extremes.
