Passive Graphite Electrode Cable

AGI’s Passive Graphite Electrode Cable (U.S. Patent 6,674,286) is used in corrosive environments where electrolysis—metal contact with water—can occur. Instead of thermoplastic (less expensive and easier to apply), we use thermoset polyurethane, ensuring that our electrodes chemically adhere to the cable’s outer jacket and become completely waterproof and heat resistant.

This means you can survey in liquid environments without gathering noisy data caused by poorly-insulated cables. 

Use Cases:

The Passive Graphite Electrode Cables are used in the following applications:

• ERI (electrical resistivity tomography and IP tomography) compatible.

• Boat-towed surveys.

• Imaging of both fresh and salt water along shorelines.

• Cross-borehole 2D and 3D surveys.

• Corrosive environments like salt water and CO2 sequestration sites.

• Marine and lacustrine environments.

• Time lapse monitoring applications (buried within landfills, dams, boreholes, etc.).

Product Features:

• Each electrode is 2.75 inches (7 cm) in length.

• Made of non-corrosive, non-hazardous graphite.

• Fresh-water- and saltwater-stable.

• Designed for the stresses of boat towing.
