MMO Ribbon Anode

MMO Ribbon Anodes for ICCP: Output and Installation Selection

An MMO ribbon anode uses a coated titanium strip as the active anode element in an impressed current cathodic protection system. Specify the project medium, required output, layout and connections. A ribbon element and an assembled linear anode system have different supply and installation requirements.

Anode Specification Checklist

Ribbon Output Is Not Surface Current Density

Output expressed in mA/m is current per active length. Surface current density uses an area basis such as A/m². Do not compare these values without defining the coated width, active faces and rated environment. Total current, feed spacing and voltage requirements must be evaluated for the actual ICCP layout; a single generic operating-voltage range does not define the complete system.

Service Life Requires an Operating Basis

Confirm the requested service life against coating specification, rated current, environment and duty cycle. A generic lifespan range is not an assurance for every installation. Provide target operating hours or design life and agree on the applicable design and acceptance basis.

Anode Procurement Questions

Is bare ribbon the same as a packaged linear anode?
No. Specify whether the requirement is a ribbon element, conductor and ribbon layout, or a complete assembly with connections and packaging.

Does the same ribbon output apply in soil, seawater and concrete?
Do not transfer a rating between environments without confirming the coating, installation and design conditions.

What is needed for an accurate quotation?
Provide the project or process, operating medium, current requirements, drawing, connections, quantity, target life and required documents. Confirm feasible supply and acceptance requirements for the order.
