Magnesium Ribbon Anodes
Available to the specified alloy, dimensions, net mass, attachment details, inspection scope and approved project drawing.
Distributed Galvanic Protection
Ribbon Anodes for Pipeline & Tank Cathodic Protection
Magnesium and zinc ribbon anodes supplied in defined cross-sections, coil lengths and connection configurations for buried pipelines, tank bottoms and distributed soil cathodic protection.
Note: This page covers sacrificial magnesium and zinc ribbon anodes. MMO ribbon anodes are an impressed-current product and belong on the dedicated MMO Ribbon Anode page.

Product Definition
Distributed Sacrificial Current Along the Protected Asset
Ribbon anodes provide a continuous or distributed galvanic-anode geometry where installation space, current distribution or proximity to the protected asset makes discrete anodes less suitable.
Material, cross-section, unit weight, core, potential, capacity, coil length, connection spacing, soil resistivity and installation depth must be coordinated with the approved design.
Engineering Review Starts With Inputs
- Protected asset & environment
- Coating condition & exposed area
- Current demand & design life
- Alloy & electrochemical criteria
- Geometry & mounting interface
- Drawings, ITP & documentation

Technical Specification
Parameters to Confirm Before Purchase
Use project-specific values. A generic catalogue value is not a substitute for the approved cathodic-protection calculation or purchase specification.
| Material | Specified magnesium or zinc sacrificial alloy; do not mix with MMO ribbon terminology. |
|---|---|
| Cross-section | Ribbon width, thickness, profile and dimensional tolerance. |
| Unit weight | Mass per unit length, total required length and coil weight. |
| Core | Continuous steel or other specified core and continuity requirements. |
| Electrical performance | Potential and capacity tied to the relevant test conditions and alloy standard. |
| Installation | Coil length, bending limits, joint and cable details, spacing, depth, soil resistivity and backfill. |

Manufacturing and QA
Control the Drawing, Alloy, Mass and Interface
Manufacturing review should confirm alloy charge control, mould and core arrangement, insert preparation, casting condition, dimensions, net mass, electrical continuity, marking and packing.
Inspection and document scope must be agreed in the purchase order. Any potential, capacity, efficiency or service-life statement should identify the governing test or calculation conditions.
Available Documentation by Order Scope
Approved production drawing
Alloy or chemistry record
Net-weight inspection
Dimensional inspection
Insert or cable continuity
Marking and packing record
ITP and witness records
Project-specific certificates
FAQ
Technical and Procurement Questions
How is the correct anode type selected?
Selection must start from the protected asset, electrolyte or soil, resistivity, temperature, coating condition, approved current demand, target life, governing specification and installation constraints.
Can HELE manufacture to a customer drawing?
Yes. Manufacturability can be reviewed against the approved alloy, net mass, dimensions, insert or core, cable, mounting, tolerances, marking and inspection scope.
What performance values should be specified?
State the required potential, capacity or efficiency together with the alloy standard, test method, electrolyte, temperature, duration and reference-electrode scale. Unqualified values are not directly comparable.
What determines service life?
Service life depends on actual current demand, coating condition, environment, alloy capacity, utilization factor, net anode mass, anode resistance, placement and electrical continuity.
What quality documents are available?
Depending on the purchase order, the document package can include approved drawings, alloy or chemistry records, weight and dimensional inspection, continuity checks, marking, packing and agreed ITP records.
