At the end of each work day we shovel up the loose concretion from where we were working, but there is always a bit remaining. Additionally, concretion and corrosion products have spalled off the turret thanks to the ER system. ER helps to passivate the turret\u2019s metal and encourage the concretion clinging to the surface to separate from the object. All of this is shoveled up and removed so that the chloride-rich debris doesn\u2019t release chlorides back into solution.  We don\u2019t want to put salts <em>back<\/em> into the turret!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New reference electrodes are made so that they are ready to be hooked up on fill day. These electrodes monitor what the turret is doing in its bath. The ER system is regulated by ensuring that these electrodes\u2019 readings are stable and in the appropriate range. We need 14 of them to make sure that the whole turret is protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_8054\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"10602\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/2017\/12\/filling-turret-tank-epic-saga-six-parts\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"360,640\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SAMSUNG-SM-G920A&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1468494791&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.058823529411765&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20160714_111311-e1513622953139.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139-169x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-10602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139-281x500.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.marinersmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20160714_111311-e1513622953139-180x320.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A reference electrode in place and ready for the tank to be filled.
