Find the right reference for your environment. Built by GMC Electrical, Inc. for accurate corrosion monitoring.
WHY GMC ELECTRICAL
Since 1984, GMC has focused on the details that matter: the materials inside, the accuracy of the reference, and the application it serves.
GMC Electrical, Inc. is the original developer of all-ceramic permanent reference electrodes and zinc–zinc sulphate reference electrodes.
We use analytical-grade materials in our reference electrodes. Precision begins with the materials inside.
Built to laboratory specifications with tighter tolerances for accurate measurements.
Decades of reference electrode development and manufacturing inform the products we build and the guidance we provide.
From buried pipelines and concrete to freshwater, seawater and deep-water service, our range helps you select for the actual environment.
