Specialised anodes

Anodes for requirements outside the standard ranges — from iron and monitoring anodes to high-temperature, special-alloy and fully custom designs.

Specialised anodes
Overview

Iron, concrete, monitoring, temporary and custom anodes.

Some cathodic protection systems need an anode that doesn't fit a standard category: an iron anode for a copper-alloy heat exchanger, a monitoring anode for a concrete structure, or a special alloy for high-temperature service.

This range covers those requirements. If what you need isn't listed, send us the drawing or specification and we'll confirm what can be supplied.

Typical materials
  • Soft iron and scrap steel
  • Silicon iron
  • Zinc in activating mortar
  • Special and project-specific alloys
Product list

All 12 specialised anodes.

  1. G01

    Soft Iron Anodes

    Iron anodes for heat exchangers and condensers with copper-alloy tubes, where iron helps form a protective film on the tubes.

  2. G02

    Scrap Iron Anodes

    Scrap steel used as a low-cost, consumable anode bed in impressed current groundbeds.

  3. G03

    Silicon Iron Anodes

    Silicon iron anodes for impressed current groundbeds in soil and water.

  4. G04

    Galvanic Concrete Anodes

    Zinc-based anodes for protecting reinforcement in new or repaired concrete.

  5. G05

    Retrofit Concrete Anodes

    Anodes installed into existing concrete structures to slow ongoing reinforcement corrosion.

  6. G06

    Monitoring Anodes

    Anodes installed to monitor current output and the performance of a CP system.

  7. G07

    Reference Anode Assemblies

    Assemblies used alongside anodes and reference electrodes to measure structure potentials.

  8. G08

    Temporary Sacrificial Anodes

    Anodes providing short-term protection during construction, storage, transport or commissioning.

  9. G09

    High Temperature Anodes

    Anodes in alloys suited to warm and hot water service, where standard zinc is not recommended.

  10. G10

    Special Alloy Anodes

    Anodes cast in special alloy compositions to meet a particular specification.

  11. G11

    Custom Fabricated Anodes

    Anodes fabricated to your drawing, with custom inserts, brackets or connections.

  12. G12

    Project-Specific Anodes

    Anodes designed and manufactured for the requirements of an individual project.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why use iron anodes in heat exchangers?

Where tubes are copper alloys, iron anodes provide cathodic protection and release iron that helps form a protective film on the tube surfaces.

What is a temporary sacrificial anode?

An anode that protects steel for a limited period — for example, during construction or before a permanent CP system is commissioned.

Can you supply anodes for high-temperature water?

Yes. Zinc is not recommended above approximately 50 °C, so aluminium or magnesium alloys are normally supplied for warmer service.

Can you make an anode that isn't listed?

Yes. Send your drawing or specification and we will confirm materials, configuration and lead time.
