Magnesium Anode
TUBULAR ANODES
®
NMT Electrodes Tubular Anodes are manufactured using
titanium which meets ASTM B338 Grade 1 standards.
®
NMT Electrodes’ Mixed Metal Oxide coatings are electrically
conductive which activates the titanium tube allowing it to
function as an anode.
®
NMT Electrodes Mixed Metal Oxide Anodes have an extremely
low consumption rate; therefore, the titanium substrate remains
nearly constant throughout the design life of the anode. This
provides a consistently low resistance anode.
®
NMT Electrodes Mixed Metal Oxide Anodes exhibit high chemical
stability even when exposed to low pH (acidic) environments and
are suitable for use in chlorine- or oxygen-evolving electrolytes or
a combination of both.
ADVANTAGES
Resin-filled and helium tested to ensure effective seal of
the connection against water ingress
Cable adjacent to anode protected with PTFE sleeve
Centre connection has extremely low resistance (less
than 0.001 OHMS)
Dimensionally stable
