Zinc
Sacrificial Anodes
for Shipping & Offshore Industries
by Farwest Corrosion Control
 Characteristics
Farwest zinc anodes are cast in current
U.S. Military Specification (Mil-Spec) and Special High Grade high
purity alloys. Farwest zinc anodes are the ideal corrosion protection
solution where the use of aluminum anodes is restricted, as in the upper
areas of tanks.
Features & Benefits
- Economical and Time-Tested,
Farwest zinc anodes set the standard for affordable corrosion
protection.
- Optimal Composition, Quality & Fit
are ensured with anodes designed and manufactured at our suppliers
foundry.
- Comprehensive Range of hull,
tank, engine room, bracelet and other anodes is available to suit
virtually every marine application.
- Pit-Guard Anodes stop corrosive
pitting in cargo and ballast tanks simply and economically.
- Farwest Zinc Anode Alloys include
the latest Mil-Spec delivering trusted performance, as well as Special
High Grade (SHG) for reliable protection wherever Mil-Spec is not
required.
- Immediate Delivery of large
quantities of standard anodes is available from stock.
- Custom Anodes can be produced to
satisfy unique specifications.
Applications
- Hulls of ships, barges, tugs and boats
- Ballast tanks of tankers, ore carriers and freighters
- Bulkheads
|
- Piers and pilings
- Submarine pipelines
- Heat exchangers
- Traveling screens
|
Installation & Operation
Farwest zinc anodes are normally clamped
or welded into position from an integrated steel core. With proper
installation, the anodes will operate efficiently and economically
without attention. They generate their own current and work silently and
surely to control corrosion. Apart from routine inspection, no labor
cost is involved after installation and no electrical supply is
required.
Farwest Zinc Anodes:
Simple, Economical
Designed specifically for reliable
performance under a variety of environmental conditions, Farwest zinc
anodes operate effectively at both low and high temperatures. Farwest
zinc sacrificial anodes are performance-proven with over 40 years of
research and commercial use.

Q-AMP™ bracelet
anodes are a family of products consisting of quadrants of multiple arc segments. Each
segment contains cast-in, circumferentially oriented steel cores. Bracelets are assembled
with 4, 6 or 8 units depending on pipe diameter. Q-AMP bracelet anodes are superior to
both semicircular bracelet assemblies in the larger sizes and multi-segment, external core
assemblies because they offer:
- More accurate sizing over pipe coatings to eliminate gaps
that promote excessive wastage of the anode at the inside diameter of the bracelet.
- Minimal distortion and "locked-in" stress when
compared to conventional semi-circular bracelets for pipes of about 20"diameter.
The maximum arc length of each segment ranges
from about 14" to about 27". Each segment contains at least one
circumferentially-oriented steel core.
