Drive-in Magnesium Anode with Lead Wire & Clamp
This drive-in anode is an high-purity extruded magnesium rod with a steel core, which has a machined “spike” or “45-degree angle cut” end for easy penetration through the soil. An adjustable stainless steel hose clamp with set screw is included to allow easy attachment of the anode to the protected structure.The anode is fitted with a steel hexagonal head and threaded UHMW polyethylene driving cap. Thus, the lead wire and soldered connection are protected during installation.
Description
—— Chemical Composition ——
YUXI’s magnesium anode is casted from high-purity magnesium ingot and advanced technology. There are two alloy types with different electro-potential as below:
High potential anode is manufactured from 99% pure magnesium, according to ASTM B843-M1C standard.
Standard potential anode is manufactured in accordance with ASTM B843-AZ63B standard.
—— Electrochemical Properties ——
YUXI casts magnesium anodes strictly conform to ASTM stardards to make sure the current efficiency exceed 50%.
◉ High Potential
The high driving voltage means greater protection can be delivered from fewer anodes. Therefore, it is capable to be used in dry or sandy areas where resistivities exceeding 2,000 Ω·cm, or for structures containing numerous corrosion hot-spots.
â—‰ Standard Potential
The zinc and aluminum elements lower the cost of the anode, but they also lower the driving potential. It is ideal for soil conditions where resistivity is under 20 Ω.m.
*Â The open/closed circuit voltage is with respect to a saturated calomel electrode.
—— Practical Application ——
Our magnesium drive-in anode is used for the cathodic protection of gas service entrance piping or gas distribution risers, as termination of tracer wire in the utilities industry and other specialty applications.
