Hexcorder DCVG/CIPS/GPS Survey Tool by Cath-Tech

SKU#: Cath-Tech Hexcorder Millenium DCVG/CIPS/GPS
Performs both CIPS and DCVG Cathodic Protection Surveys

  • Description

    The Cath-Tech™ Hexcorder Millennium GPS is the ultimate survey tool, capable of performing close interval surveys (CIPS) as well as direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) surveys.

    • CIPS for Potential Surveys
    • DCVG for Coating Condition Surveys

    Like all Cath-Tech™ survey equipment, the Hexcorder Millennium is equipped with a 12-satellite GPS engine for interruption synchronization as well as coordinate display and logging. It can store GPS time and pipeline chainage. It comes with 1 Mbyte of non-volatile CMOS RAM, factory upgradeable to 2 Mbytes. It comes with a large graphic LCD display for text and graphs, and 40-key QWERTY keyboard for data entry. It is shipped ready to use and includes new CuCuSO4 half cells and a spool of wire.

    CIPS + DCVG + GPS

    The Hexcorder Millennium with GPS is a fully integrated close-interval potential survey and direct current voltage gradient survey instrument with a proven track record. It is a purpose-built instrument designed by corrosion engineers for use by corrosion professionals.

    The unit can simultaneously measure and record structure-to-electrolyte potentials as well as the voltage gradient between two half-cells. It can measure and store the rectifier ON and Instant OFF structure-to-electrolyte potentials, voltage gradients, chainage, GPS coordinates, and UTC time. It has a built-in active filter to minimize the effect of induced AC voltages on the measured structure-to-electrolyte potentials. The active AC filter combined with software rejection results in over 80 dB of AC rejection.

    The unit is equipped with exclusive Cath-Tech™ Waveform Software to capture and display electrical interference on the structure-to-electrolyte potential. No special software is required for analysis. The output of the Hexcorder Millennium is comma-delimited ASCII text, which can be imported directly into any spreadsheet or database software.
