Description
Magnesium anodes PM-10 must be purchased for the protection of underground structures against corrosion. They are used on gas and oil pipelines, as well as other steel structures. PM-10 is manufactured in accordance with TU 1714-026-57453307-2006.
PM-10 is made of a magnesium alloy with a steel core inside. The anode is packaged in a cotton bag. The connecting cable is led outside. The product package includes a standard-length cable. PM-10 with a longer cable can be ordered at the customer’s discretion.
Stable operation of PM is ensured by an activator located in the cotton bag together with the magnesium alloy. This prevents the formation of insoluble films on the anode during use. The customer can choose one of two product modifications – PM-10 and PM-10(U). The abbreviation U indicates that the anode is supplied in a bag.
Installation of the anodes is performed into the soil. Along the pipeline, they are installed at a rate of 1 unit per 1–2 km. This is an average rate, depending on pipe diameter and route length. Group installation of 5–15 anodes at a time is also possible. The price of PM-10 depends on the selected modification and cable length.
Product Specifications
PM-10 is designed for use in soils with resistance not less than 50 Ohm/m. The device provides effective current output of 2200 A·h. The electrode with a potential of 1600 mV is placed in a special activator, which prevents the formation of poorly soluble films during use. The activator contains bentonite clay, construction gypsum, and epsomite.
