Half Shell Aluminum Bracelet Anode (Tapered End, Welded)

This indium-activated aluminium bracelet anode is specifically designed for the cathodic protection of submarine/offshore pipelines. Assembled as two half-shells, the anodes fit the pipe as a bracelet and shall be installed by thermit-welding. With tapered ends, our half-shell aluminium bracelet anodes are suitable for easy movements over stringer during pipeline laying.
