aluminium anode 1480 np for offshore cathodic protection

Aluminum Anode

Aluminum anodes are one type of sacrificial anodes in cathodic protection systems that are used generally in offshore industries for metals corrosion protection.

These anodes are in 4 types as follow.



AP& NP types are used more than other types in marine industries at present due to existence of mercury as a poisonous material for sea ecosystem in LP & GP types.

For offshore pipeline bracelet anode is used that is installed pipe round.

Dimension specification of these anodes is variable due to pipe size and purchaser order.
