Zinc Anodes for Marine & Underwater Applications by Farwest Corrosion

Characteristics

Farwest zinc anodes are cast in current U.S. Military Specification (Mil-Spec) alloy. This alloy is effective in seawater and saline mud where temperatures are limited to 120 degrees F.

Note: Model numbers vary through the industry. If you have any questions regarding ordering, please call is at 888-532-7937.

Hull Anodes

LL-26 Hull Anode
(AKA: M-26)

Contains single galvanized steel longitudinal strap. Can be bolted or welded to hull. Particularly suited for smaller ships, coastal vessels, harbor tugs, etc. Farwest can add a mounting hole to each mounting strap.

Pier and Piling Anodes: ZPP Series

Several different galvanized steel cores are available in this anode series. When ordering, specify which of the following cores is desired.

• Type "E" - 1/2" diameter eyebolt in anodes weighing up to 200 lbs; 3/4" over 200 lbs.
• Type "P" - 3/4" standard pipe in anodes weighing less than 250 lbs; 1" pipe 250 lbs and up.
• Type "R" - 1/2" diameter rod.

*Pipe core for this anode is 3/4" standard pipe.

Custom Line

For special requirements, HI-AMP anodes for ballast tanks, piers and pilings can be furnished with a wide variety of cores and to the range of dimensions shown in the accompanying table.

Ballast Tank Anodes

ZT Series

Anodes contain1/2" diameter straight electrogalvanized steel core rod for direct welding or assembly to two flat bards with "U" bolts as shown.

Bracelet Anodes

Number of Segments	Nom. Pipe Diameter
4	20" - 36"
4 or 6	30" - 36"
6	30" - 54"
6 or 8	40" - 54"
8	40" - 72"

Q-AMP™ bracelet anodes are a family of products consisting of quadrants of multiple arc segments. Each segment contains cast-in, circumferentially oriented steel cores. Bracelets are assembled with 4, 6 or 8 units depending on pipe diameter. Q-AMP bracelet anodes are superior to both semicircular bracelet assemblies in the larger sizes and multi-segment, external core assemblies because they offer:

• More accurate sizing over pipe coatings to eliminate gaps that promote excessive wastage of the anode at the inside diameter of the bracelet.
  
• Minimal distortion and "locked-in" stress when compared to conventional semi-circular bracelets for pipes of about 20"diameter.

The maximum arc length of each segment ranges from about 14" to about 27". Each segment contains at least one circumferentially-oriented steel core.
