Segmented Aluminum Bracelet Anode (Tapered End, External Bolted)
This indium-activated aluminium bracelet anode is specifically designed for the cathodic protection of submarine/offshore pipelines. The segmented bracelet, consisting of multiple individual anode sections, is suitable for direct attachment around the circumference of a pipeline. The bracelet anodes shall be installed by means of a clamp. With tapered ends, our segmented aluminium bracelet anode is suitable for easy movements over stringer during pipeline laying.

Low Driving Voltage
This aluminium bracelet anode provides a stable performance in seawater and electrolytes containing chloride ions as its operating potential is kept between -1.05 to -1.10 volts relative to saturated calomel electrode(SCE).
| Operating Potential (-V) | 1.05 – 1.1 |
| Current Capacity | 1135 A.h/lbs (2500 A.h/kg) |
| Consumption Rate | 7.6 lbs/A·y |
| Current Efficiency | 90% Min. |
| Solubility | Solute Uniformly |
Strict Quality Control
By conforming to ISO 9001:2015 standards, our aluminum bracelet anode is manufactured, inspected, and tested in accordance with stringent procedures to ensure high quality.
Customized Configurations
The overall dimension of the anodes are usually manufactured to coincide with the overall dimension of the pipe. Custom-made configurations are available upon request.
