Internal Pump & Pipe Strip Anode
CerAnode Strip Anodes & Power Plate Anodes Ideal for:
Internal Pipe Protection, Internal Valve Protection,
Ship Hull Protection, Locks & Dams, Etc.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CerAnode Strip features a multi-layered versatile anode construction providing exceptional impact resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and electrochemical durability. In addition to the standard versions of the anode described below, the basic design allows for easy modification to meet the demands of varied applications requiring a different current rating, mounting technique or cable attachment. RUGGED ANODE BAR COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
A 1/4" thick 1-1/2" wide titanium bar is coated with a high powered iridium/tantalum/titanium based mixed metal oxide ceramic. Other anode bar sizes are available. This material is tested at current densities greater than 20,000 amperes per square meter. DIELECTRIC PROTECTIVE SHIELD
The titanium anode bar mounts onto a PVC, PE or FRP dielectric shield. Other shield materials are also available (maximum length = 8 feet). AUXILIARY SHIELD
To increase the throwing power or driving force of the strip anode, an additional auxiliary shield made of PVC, PE or FRP is available. This mounts under the CerAnode Strip's primary shield. It allows the anode to be operated at a higher voltage if necessary without over polarizing the area surrounding the anode. Auxiliary shields are sometimes “painted” onto the cathode surface but this must be a very dense and thick coating to be effective. LOW PROFILE DESIGN
The anode with its primary shield protrudes a fraction of an inch from the surface to which it is mounted. 20 YEAR DESIGN LIFE
The design life of the Strip Anode is 20 years. A longer design life can be accommodated as if needed. Operating temperature for design life is 5-50o C (10-50o for seawater). The current rating is adjusted to the application and there is not maximum operating voltage. LOW RESISTANCE LINEAR CONFIGURATION
The Strip Anode geometry is particularly useful where it is desirable to optimize for low voltage, low power or where a higher current is needed for fresh water applications. The Power Plate Anode is excellent where high power is required. They can be designed for the specific application.

The CerAnode Strip features a multi-layered versatile anode construction providing exceptional impact resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and electrochemical durability. In addition to the standard versions of the anode described below, the basic design allows for easy modification to meet the demands of varied applications requiring a different current rating, mounting technique or cable attachment. The anode with its primary shield protrudes a fraction of an inch from the surface to which it is mounted. Its hydrodynamic design allows it to be mounted internally in pumps and pipelines with fast flowing media. The shield arrangement and size is tailored to the application. CerAnode's very thin anode coating in combination with its ductile titanium substrate is extremely durable. The particular mixed metal oxide ceramic is custom formulated and is tested at extremely high current densities to insure consistent product quality. It consists of Iridium, tantalum and titanium metal oxides in sufficient quantities and ratios to provide a life expectancy beyond its cataloged value. The anode is classified as inert being made from some of the most corrosion resistant materials known to man. This provides the conservatism in anode design needed to assure a long life even in harsh environments. Since this ceramic material will support the evolution of both oxygen and chlorine, it is the choice for fresh water and sea water environments. The design life and current rating and anode size can be adjusted to meet most requirements. Operating temperature for highest design life is 5-50o C (10-50o for seawater). There is no maximum operating voltage. The Strip Anode geometry is particularly useful where it is desirable to optimize for low voltage, low power or where a higher current is needed for fresh water applications. The Strip Anodes are excellent where a high power anode is required. It mounts by means of dielectric mounting studs eliminating any additional dielectrics or spacers. One of the mounting studs doubles as a power feed in the form of a terminal or Underwater Connector. Appropriate gasketing and other seal technology is used to assure a proper environmental isolation. Back to top

1. The anode is designed to mount in bulkheads up to 20mm thick.
2. The mounting studs are 1”-8 threaded g-10 mandrel wound titanium reinforced frp. They are designed to fit a 1 inch hole.
3. The shield is made of polyethylene. (other materials are available ane are application dependent.) pe was chosen for its physical characteristics and mechanical performance in high velocity flow and jet stream environment.
4. The plate anode is supplied with mounting nuts and washers. These can be either frp or steel. Steelthread-seal washers are also available.
5. After strip is mounted to bulkhead, junction head slips over mounting stud. A compression nut, then, secures it in any direction. If the connection is to be underwater, a pvc junction head is suggested which is then backfilled with polyuretane.
6. The active anode material is a special mixed metal oxide ceramic applied to a titanium substrate by means of plasma spray processing. It is tough and resists abrasion. The anode is rated at 10 amperes for 20 years in fresh water and 40 amperes in sea water.
