Specifies requirements for chemical composition of zinc, magnesium and aluminium alloys and gives details of design features for some standardized shapes. It includes performance requirements and test methods for anodes and gives details and properties of types of backfill for buried anodes.

This Standard specifies requirements for galvanic (sacrificial) anodes for use in the cathodic protection of metals against corrosion. It specifies the composition of suitable alloys for magnesium, zinc and aluminium anodes and gives details of shapes and design features of some commonly used anodes. It also includes details of backfill compositions and properties, for buried magnesium and zinc anodes.NOTE: Advice and recommendations on information to be supplied by the purchaser at the time of enquiry or order are contained in the purchasing guidelines set out in Appendix A.
