The problem of corrosion of metal materials exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure water is currently occurring in various fields of industry, and efforts are being made to investigate the corrosion mechanism of high-temperature, high-pressure water and to establish effective preventive measures. Therefore, electrochemical measurement methods are generally used to elucidate the corrosion mechanism. In order to solve problems caused by the measurement environment being under high-temperature, high-pressure water, the reference electrodes used in this measurement method are, for example, liquid-flow type external reference electrodes, pressure-balanced type external reference electrodes, etc. In particular, pressure-balanced external reference electrodes are easier to handle and have a longer lifespan than other types, and furthermore, the thermo-liquid junction potential can be corrected. It is considered to be the most preferable method because it causes no practical problems and can be converted to a standard hydrogen electrode standard at each temperature, which is a thermodynamic measure.

FIG. 1 shows the structure of a pressure-balanced external reference electrode that has been proposed in the past. The structure of this external reference electrode includes a liquid junction 1' and a container 4a for electrode internal liquid (KCl solution) inside a high-temperature and high-pressure container, and an electrode made of Ag/AgCl that can withstand room temperature and high pressure outside the high-temperature and high-pressure container. 18 are provided. Furthermore, in consideration of safety, a stainless steel tube is used as the outer wall tube 4a, and a tube made of Teflon (trademark) is provided in the portion that comes into contact with the electrode internal liquid 2. Here, the pressure is balanced by making the pressure in the Teflon tube the same as the pressure in the high-pressure container through asbestos in the liquid junction 1', thereby keeping the electrode 18 under pressure balance. However, in this conventional external reference electrode, the liquid junction 1' between the electrode internal liquid (KCl) and the test liquid is located in a high-temperature, high-pressure container, and the surrounding parts 5' are also made of resin such as Teflon. The test temperature is limited to about 200℃,
In addition, the electrode internal solution and the test solution tend to mix, which changes the potential of the reference electrode itself and contaminates the test solution, making it difficult to make accurate measurements.

The upper part 13a of the electrode container 13 is screwed to a seal plug 9 for sealing from the atmosphere.
Since it is made of Teflon and has a tapered shape, tightening the nut 11 connects it to the seal plug via the ring 10.
The Ag wire 18b and the seal plug parts 9a and 9b are sealed. The electrode used in this example is a silver-silver chloride electrode having an Ag/AgCl electrode 18a at the tip of the Ag wire 18b. A packing 12b is provided between the Ag wire 18b and the piston 12, and the surface of the Ag wire 18b is covered with an insulating tube 18c. The seal is coated so that the seal will not be broken even if the piston 12 slides on the surface. Furthermore, a gasket 12a is provided on the outside of the piston 12.
is provided to prevent the electrode liquid 17 from leaking even when the piston 12 slides inside the electrode container 13. Furthermore, a hole 13c is provided above the electrode container 13, and the test liquid 8
passes through the capillary reach tube 1, passes through the measuring container 21 in the direction of the arrow 8a, and further passes through the hole 13c to communicate with the upper part of the piston 12.

Therefore, between the piston 12 and the seal plug 9, the pressure PKg/cm 2 in the pressure vessel passes through the hole 13c of the electrode container located above the piston and the piston 12.
Since the pressure is applied to both the outer and inner surfaces of the electrode container 13, the same pressure is applied to the electrode container 13 to maintain equilibrium. Therefore, even if the electrode liquid 17 expands in volume due to high temperature, the piston 12 will move by that amount, and the electrode liquid in the electrode container will always be maintained without flowing out from the liquid junction plug 15. Even when high temperature and room temperature are repeated, the piston 12 will move by that amount. Therefore, outflow of the liquid 17 and inflow of the test liquid 8 are prevented, and an accurate potential can be measured as a constant concentration of the electrode liquid without being affected by temperature and pressure. Further, since the test liquid 8 can be cooled by providing, for example, a cooling jacket 22a between the test container 4 and the liquid junction 15, the influence of temperature from the test container 4 on the liquid junction 15 can be eliminated.
