Anodeflex 3000-Ti series products are long-line, flexible cable-like anode placed in continuous close proximity to the target structure. Uniform distribution of cathodic
protection current achieved on applications where many conventional anode ground beds will not work or are difficult to install.
Product performance a result of the central insulated copper conductor, which allows current to flow long distances down the center conductor, and mixed-metal
oxide (MMO) anode connected at regular intervals to the conductor cable. The mixed metal oxide is a crystalline, electrically-conducive coating that activates the
titanium cladding and enables it to function as an anode. When applied on titanium, the coating has an extremely low consumption rate, measure in milligrams per
year. System design should consider environmental factors such as adjacent structures, stray current and fluctuations in soil resistivity.
In contrast to conventional ground bed systems, Anodeflex 3000-Ti series products are placed in the ground in close proximity to the steel surface to be protected and
provides uniform distribution of protective current to the entire steel surface. This maintains the steel-to-soil "instant-off" potential in the required window of -
850mv and -1200mv. The improved current distribution increases anode efficiency and helps prevent over-voltage problems such as hydrogen generation and
associated rapid coating disbondment. In addition, interference from other structures and stray currents are virtually eliminated.
Anodeflex 3000-Ti series products are delivered on long length spools and, because no additional carbon backfill is required, the installation is as simple as laying a low
voltage power cable. Proven heat-shrinkable splice kits, Tee joints and end sealing caps are available to complete the installation.
