Product Description
The efficiency of our zinc anode is about 95%, -1100mV rel CU / CUSO4 electrode (US MIL 18001K). These anodes are normally used in sea or brackish water or in soil and usually not in the case of resistivities in excess of 15Ωm. The anode comes with a 5m cable type XLPE / PVC 6mm2 red in backfill of bentonite. The cable connection is embedded in epoxy or equivalent. Power delivery in 10Ωm earth is about 28mA
FAQ
- Q: How long does an anode bag last?
A: With optimal use, our anode bags can last up to 5 years. However, the lifespan can vary depending on environmental conditions, including the aggressiveness of the soil or water they are placed in. Regular inspections can help assess the condition of the anode bag and its remaining lifespan.
- Q: How do you install an anode bag for a propane tank?
A: Installing an anode bag for a propane tank involves several steps. First and foremost, the area around the tank should be cleared. The anode bag is then placed in a hole dug near the tank. It is then connected to the tank with a special cable, ensuring that the connection is secure and solid. The hole is then filled back in, ensuring that the anode bag remains in contact with the surrounding soil.
- Q: What are anode bags used for?
A: Anode bags are used for cathodic protection. They protect various metal structures such as propane tanks, underground pipes, buried steel assets, docks, piers, and fire hydrants against corrosion. By producing a small electric current, anode bags counteract the corrosive electrical activity that leads to rust and degradation.
- Q: What is an anode bag?
A: An anode bag is a type of sacrificial anode used for cathodic protection. It is a bag filled with a reactive metal, usually magnesium, that is connected to a metal structure to protect it against corrosion. When placed in the soil or water near the structure, it produces a protective electric current that prevents the metal from corroding.
