Partial clad (probe) platinum anodes were introduced as a technological innovation from Anomet, designed to provide the benefits of co-extruded metallurgically bonded materials to applications where platinum is needed to distribute current only on specific areas. Partial clad probe anodes find their greatest use in applications where it is necessary to have the current emitting surface stand off from the structure, such as in condenser water box walls. Below is a guide to selecting typical probe anode configurations. In many cases a steel core may be required in place of copper for increased mechanical strength.
Typical Probe Anode Specifications
A.) Select the material for the probe anode. Choose from the following:
-Anomet 20 Nb
-Anomet 40 Nb
-Anomet 100 Ti
-Anomet 100 Nb
B.) Select the appropriate probe diameter and substrate thickness from the table below:
