In general, when corrosion-protecting various steel structures such as steel pipe pile piers and steel sheet pile quays, or reinforcing bars of reinforced concrete structures, whether or not the corrosion-preventing effect is being properly exerted is determined by whether the objects to be protected have a predetermined corrosion protection potential. The reference electrode used to measure the corrosion protection potential of the object to be protected is a half cell whose thermodynamic electrode potential is known. The electrode potential of the object to be protected can be detected by measuring the potential difference 117) between this reference electrode and the object to be protected.

Among these, the electrolyte-filled reference electrode is, for example,
As seen in Publication No. 21098, 1 Usually, a reference electrode container contains metal electrodes such as silver or mercury and an electrolytic solution that keeps the ionic activity of these metal electrodes constant, and the tip has a porous hole such as a water faucet. The structure is configured such that the material is fitted and electrical continuity is established with the external object to be protected from corrosion. That is, the electrolytic solution in the reference electrode that has permeated into a porous material such as a wooden plug comes into contact with an environmental aqueous solution containing the object to be protected, and the potential of the object to be protected is measured.

Therefore, when measuring with the tip of the reference electrode facing downward, contact between the electrolyte and the object to be protected is maintained as described above, and the corrosion protection potential of the object to be protected can be determined. When measuring with the reference electrode facing upward or sideways, such as when determining the corrosion protection potential of the object to be protected by bringing the reference electrode into contact with the bottom or side surface of the object, air bubbles may accumulate at the tip of the reference electrode. There is a problem in that electrical contact is not formed between the corrosion protector and the corrosion protection target, and the corrosion protection potential of the corrosion protection target may become impossible to measure.
