Testing of Embeddable Impressed Current Anodes for Use in Cathodic Protection of Atmospherically Exposed Steel-Reinforced Concrete
Test Method Part A is designed to evaluate the anode material to an expected lifetime criterion, and is conducted over a period of at least 180 days. (See Section 3.) Test Method Part B uses accelerated life testing to verify that anodes comprised of a Ti substrate, to which a mixed metal oxide (MMO) catalytic coating has been applied, meet minimum service-life requirements in accordance with the expected design life. The test is operated at higher current densities than the application’s design to accelerate the time to failure. (See Section 8.).
