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.
| Selection item | Requirement to confirm |
|---|---|
| Project | State tank-bottom, buried-structure, concrete or other ICCP requirements |
| Environment | Provide the electrolyte or installation medium, resistivity and operating conditions |
| Ribbon geometry | Specify width, thickness, active length, layout and drawing |
| Coating | Confirm the MMO formulation and loading appropriate to the environment and duty |
| Output basis | State required current per active length, such as mA/m or A/m, and total current demand |
| Connections | Specify conductor connections, feed points, joining method and any required sealing |
| Life and acceptance | Agree on the coating design basis, rated operating conditions and inspection requirements |
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.
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.
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.
