Zinc Packaged Anode
Packaged Zinc Soil Anodes come standard in a cloth cotton bag. The anodes are produced in a variety of weights, and are packaged in a 75% gypsum, 20% bentonite and 5% sodium sulfate mixture for use in low resistivity soil environments.
- ASTM B-418-01, Type II alloy for soil conditions
- Standard packaging in a cardboard tube with 75% gypsum, 20% bentonite, 5% sodium sulfate backfill
- Open circuit potential of -1.1 volts (with respect to copper sulfate reference cell)
- Made from 99.99% pure high grade zinc
- 90% current efficiency with a current capacity of 335 amp – hours /lb.
Packaged Zinc anodes are recommended in soils with resistivities below 1000 ohm-cm. Because these anodes have a lower driving potential than Magnesium, they are most effective on well coated steel structures requiring minimal current output. The packages anodes are most commonly used as grounding cells on electrical motors, panels and conduits, and across insulators in pipelines to limit dangerous high voltages. Zinc anodes should not be used in extremely alkaline (above 9.2 pH), acidic (5 pH), or high temperature (60°C, 140°F) electrolytes.
