DESCRIPTION


AMAC supply Tinker & RasorTM polycarbonate test stations.

The cathodic protection test stations are high strength, fire resistant, non conductive, maintenance free terminals for monitoring electric currents and potentials.



APPLICATION(S)


Cathodic protection test stations are used as a terminal for test leads to read:

  • Underground structure-to-soil potentials
  • Cathodic protection anode currents
  • The resistive integrity of insulation flanges and joints
  • The integrity of insulation between all types of underground metallic structures, such as between a carrier and its casing
  • Stray currents on all types of underground
    structures.

Shock Guards:

The Tinker & Rasor Shock Guard fits the Model T-3 "Top Hat" test station. The Shock Guard fits on one side of the test station terminal, keeping field personnel and others away from wire connections. The Tinker & Rasor Shock Guard minimizes the risk of electrocution, and meets NACE Standard SP-01-77/4.4.4 when used with non-metallic Tinker & Rasor Banana Plugs.

Anti-Spin Gaskets:

"Anti-Spin" Gaskets are available for all Tinker & Rasor Test Station models. The "Anti-Spin" gasket does just that, it keeps the terminal from spinning on the riser pipe. This prevents the test station from spinning or sliding off the riser and allows superior tightening of the terminal nut.
