galvanic anode


Also found in: Dictionary, Wikipedia.

sacrificial anode

A metal plate used in cathodic protection (i.e., the protection from corrosion) of piping or other equipment to which it is electrically connected. This metal plate must be more corrodible than the piping to which it is attached.

If galvanic anodes are used for cathodic protection in an area of AC influence and if test stations are available, the following tests should be conducted during each pipeline corrosion survey using suitable instrumentation: a) Measure and record both the AC and DC currents from the anodes, b) Measure and record the AC & DC pipe-to-soil potentials.

We use a rectifier or galvanic anode to create a complete circuit between the anode and the pipe, throwing current through the ground (or water) and creating chemical reactions on the pipe surface which prevent corrosion.

Repairs using low shrinkage Mapegrout mortars can be further enhanced by the use of Mapeshield galvanic anodes. "Available as both internal and external anodes and in a choice of 10- or 20-year lifetime options, the building owner or facility manager has, for the first time in the region, the choice of repair vs lifetime options depending on his budget and anticipated used of the structure," said Haboubi.
