Abstract
A cathodic protection device enclosing a reference cell and a conductive media and having two coupon assemblies mounted, facing opposing direction, on an exterior surface thereof is disclosed. The coupon assemblies each have a disc-shaped coupon seated in a coupon jacket and are electrically coupled to a wire. The coupon jacket is formed from a blank having a first surface and an opposing second. A pocket as a recess is machined into the first surface, a groove is machined into the opposing second surface and an aperture is machined through the bottom of the pocket and opens into the groove. A disc-shaped coupon assembly was threaded through the pocket and aperture to seat the disc-shaped coupon in the pocket and a wire in the groove with the electrical junction therebetween aligned with the aperture.
