Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for the installation of galvanic anodes in soils.
The method for installing anodes in soil for each designation code is specified in Appendix A.
NOTES;
1 This Standard does not specify any purchasing requirements for galvanic anodes. Refer to AS 2239.
2 This Standard does not apply to installation of galvanic anodes in liquids.
Galvanic anodes are selected according to the nature of the environment, the ferrous structure to be protected and the output current required. Anodes complying with AS 2239 will meet the requirements of this Standard.
NOTES:
1 For underground metallic structures, anodes that are typically used, are composed of zinc or magnesium alloys.
2 Anodes may be supplied pre-packaged, in a gypsum bentonite backfill, which is contained in a calico bag and usually wrapped in plastic, or in simple unpackaged form.
