Galvanic anodes for cathodic protection in seawater and saline mud

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements and gives recommendations for the chemical composition, the electrochemical properties, the physical tolerances, and the test and inspection procedures for cast galvanic anodes of aluminium, magnesium and zinc based alloys for cathodic protection in sea water and saline mud.
This European Standard is applicable to the majority of galvanic anodes used for seawater and saline mud applications, i.e. cast anodes of trapezoidal, "D", or circular cross section and bracelet type anodes.
The general requirements and recommendations of this European Standard may also be applied to other anode shapes, e.g. half-spherical, button, etc., which are sometimes used for seawater applications.

Galvanische Anoden für den kathodischen Schutz in Seewasser und salzhaltigem Schlamm

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Mindestanforderungen fest und die chemische Zusammensetzung, die elektrochemischen Merkmale, die physischen Toleranzwerte, die Prüfverfahren und Prüfrichtlinien für galvanische Gussanoden aus auf Aluminium, Magnesium oder Zink basierende Legierungen für kathodischen Schutz in Seewasser und salzhaltigem Schlamm an.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für die meisten galvanischen Anoden, die für Anwendungen in Meerwasser und salzhaltigem Schlick verwendet werden, d. h. Gussanoden mit trapez-, "D"-, oder kreisförmigem Querschnitt und Manschettenanoden.
Die allgemeinen Aspekte dieser Europäischen Norm dürfen auch für andere Anodenformen, beispielsweise halbrund, knopfförmig usw., angewendet werden, die manchmal für Meerwasseranwendungen benutzt werden.

Anodes galvaniques pour la protection cathodique dans l'eau de mer et les boues salines

La présente Norme européenne décrit des anodes galvaniques destinées à des applications dans l’eau de mer et les boues marines. Elle donne les exigences et recommandations minimales concernant les tolérances physiques, les caractéristiques ou propriétés électrochimiques, les modes opératoires d’essai et les normes d’inspection relatives aux anodes galvaniques coulées en alliages d’aluminium, de magnésium et de zinc destinées à la protection cathodique ; elle ne traite pas les aspects liés à l’assurance qualité.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à la majorité des anodes galvaniques utilisées pour les applications dans l’eau de mer et les boues marines, c'est-à-dire des anodes coulées de section transversale trapézoïdale, « en D » ou circulaire et des anodes de type bracelet.
NOTE   Les aspects génériques de la présente Norme européenne sont également applicables à d’autres formes d’anodes, par exemple demi-sphère, bouton, etc., parfois utilisées pour les applications dans l’eau de mer.

Galvanske anode za katodno zaščito v slani vodi in slanem blatu

Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve in podaja priporočila za kemično sestavo, elektrokemične lastnosti, fizične tolerance ter preskusne postopke in postopke pregledovanja za lite galvanske anode iz zlitin aluminija, magnezija in cinka za katodno zaščito v slani vodi in slanem blatu. Ta evropski standard velja za večino galvanskih anod za katodno zaščito v slani vodi in slanem blatu, tj. za lite anode s trapeznim, »D« ali krožnim prerezom in anode v obliki zapestnice. Splošne zahteve in priporočila tega evropskega standarda lahko veljajo tudi za druge oblike anod, npr. anoda polkrožne oblike, v obliki gumba itd., ki se včasih uporabljajo v slani vodi.
