ANODE GROUNDING Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: metals electrochemical protection. SUBSTANCE: anode grounding is made as a strip of electric conducting carbonic fabric and contact joints are located on the carbonic fabric in equal intervals. The contact joints are made as two titanium strips, that together with the carbonic fabric are tightened by bolts and insulated by an insulating compound. Deep-seated anode grounding has a polyethylene carrying pipe, covered with carbonic fabric, and contact joints. There is a version of anode grounding for permafrost and versions of contact joints. Anode grounding has high efficiency due to large area of touch with ground and is ecologically clean, because it does not contaminates soil and ground waters. EFFECT: preservation of metals from corrosion. 6 cl, 18 dwg
