Cathodic Protection
NMT Electrodes' Mesh Strip Anodes are manufactured using titanium expanded mesh substrate, which meets ASTM B265 Grade 1 or 2 standards, and NMT Electrodes' MMO Coating.
NMT Electrodes' Canistered Mesh Strip Anode has been designed to replace the massive 3" x 60" silicon iron anodes in horizontal and shallow vertical groundbeds.
The Mesh Strip is 31.75mm (1.25") Wide x 1220mm (48") Long and is rated 5 amps for 20 year design in fine petroleum coke.
NMT Electrodes can package the Mesh Strip Anode in galvanized steel canisters, galvanized steel flexible conduit or flexible fabric. All of these packaging materials are available in a variety of diameters and lengths.

- Electrical connection fully encapsulated in resin
- Connection resistance less than .001 ohms
- Fine petroleum coke used to ensure efficient current distribution from anode
- Lower cost than 3" x 60" silicon iron anodes
- Lighter weight means less freight cost
