Cathodic Protection Test
Stations
Featuring the
"Supergrip Top"
by Tinker & Rasor
For quick access by field personnel when
monitoring electrical currents
and potentials on buried pipelines, cables or other metallic structures.
 |
Tinker & Rasor is manufacturing CP Test
Stations featuring its exclusive "Supergrip Top". These unique
test stations are designed for easy installation on either new or existing risers.
Models
T-1 and T-3 are injection molded, using the finest
polycarbonate plastics with UV protection to ensure maximum strength and to guard against
failure due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. The Tinker & Rasor T-1 and T-3 are
designed to survive in harsh climatic environments worldwide.
Models T-1 and
T-3 are easy to install, requiring no
tools. These test stations, due to our unique dual locking system, are theft and tamper
resistant. All models are availailable for immediate shipment "Worldwide".
Tinker & Rasor is the first manufacturer of CP Test Stations to offer the
"Antispin" gasket. This gasket eliminates the possibility of the test stations
"spinning" on the riser. |

T-3 Options
Tinker & Rasor T-3 terminals
are made from Lexan®, a clear polycarbonate injection molded plastic,
allowing for easy viewing through the terminal to terminal points. This
safety measure allows clear vision to the other side of the terminal so
that your field personnel are not blindly reaching their hands into "hot"
areas on the terminal. The Model T-3 can be custom configured to the
specifications of the customer. Below are examples of custom work and
accessories offered by Tinker & Rasor.

 |
D-TS
The Model D-TS allows a convenient
connection to structures for potential readings. The digital voltmeter is
built-in and a quick button push gives potential readings when combined
with a half-cell reference electrode. The Model DT-S comes ready to use,
with 9 Volt battery included. Battery life approx. 1 year. Analog versions
available, no battery required.
|
 |
RB-TS
This example of the T-3 CP Test Station
shows a Shunt and slide resistor connected to the Terminal Board. Both
shunts, slide resistors and other accessories are available as optional
accessories to any Model T-3 CP Test Station purchase.

Flange Adapter:
The Tinker & Rasor Flange Adapter, shown at
right, fits the Model T-3 Test Station. The Flange Adapter has electrical
knock-outs, shown at left in detail, that allow easy pass-through of
wires. No drilling in the field is required.
|
 |
 |
T-3
Terminal:
The Model T-3 CP Test Station Terminal has
been improved with a cutout in the bottom of the terminal, allowing a
half-cell reference electrode to be put down the riser pipe to get
potential readings when surrounding ground cover is not convenient for
taking pipe-to-soil potentials.

Lightening
Arrestor
The Tinker & Rasor Lightning Arrestor
fits the Model T-311-hole terminal. This is an example of
the custom configurations we have made for customers.

Available in three specifications:
- Orange: 0.001 Ohm, 25 Amp
capacity
- Yellow: 0.01 Ohm, 8 Amp capacity
- Red: 0.1 Ohm, 2 Amp capacity

An exploded view of the Model T-3 Test
Station shows an Orange "Top Hat" cover, the standard, clear, 11-hole
terminal (Standard configuration includes 5 binding posts.), an Orange
riser pipe and the Tinker & Rasor Earthlock system.
Binding posts and setscrew, shown in
detail, are made of brass and nickel-plated to prevent corrosion. The
setscrew requires a standard slot type screwdriver. Binding post will
accommodate up to size 6-gauge wire.
