Magnesium Anode is an excellent choice for use in cathodic protection systems in average soil conditions.
Magnesium anodes produce a minimum open circuit potential of 1.52 volts with respect to CuCuSO4.
Therefore, the driving potential of the cathodic protection anodes exceeds that of aluminum or zinc.
At CenaTech Limited, we attach a copper lead wire (size, length, and insulation type as specified) to the Magnesium anode and seal the connection interface.
If required, the magnesium anode will be packaged in a cloth bag with a prepared backfill mixture of 75% gypsum, 20% bentonite, and 5% sodium sulfate.
The backfill mixture works to maintain moisture around the anode and lowers the anode-to- earth resistance.
The packaged anodes are shipped on pallets in plastic bags that must be removed before installation.
Mr phillp briggs –
Neatly packaged. and the reading was mind-blowing, technically my supervisors were happy with the readings i was getting on site
