difference between zinc rod and zinc ribbon
Answers
Answer:
Plattline™ Zinc Ribbon Anode
They are used for cathodic protection on buried pipelines, for A.C. mitigation on pipelines, for sacrificial cathodic protection of secondary bottoms on above-ground storage tanks, for A.C. mitigation grounding mats and for other corrosion protection applications.
Answer:
Definition - What does Zinc Ribbon Anode mean?
A zinc ribbon anode, as its name implies, is a thin, wire-like strip of zinc metal used to provide passive cathodic protection (CP) for underground, coated pipelines. This system is ideal for unattended applications, where impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems or constant monitoring is not feasible. Zinc ribbon anodes work by sacrificing themselves to protect the metallic pipeline to which they are attached.
Zinc, being a sacrificing element in zinc ribbon anodes, contributes to a very simple, cost-effective and maintenance-free corrosion control method for buried or immersed metals such as iron, steel, aluminum or copper.
