ANODES
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The chemical compositions listed are examples
only. The actual compositions required shall be
determined to provide adequate and economical
service.

NOTE: Options for anode materials include
"High-Silicon Chromium Bearing Cast Iron,"
"Graphite," and "Mixed Metal Oxide Coated" anodes.
Selection of material should be based upon the
conditions and operating parameters for the intended
use. Precious metal or other anode materials,
packaging or connections may also be appropriate for
use, as determined by the engineer. These
materials, packaging, or connections must also be
submitted for approval in accordance with
"Submittals Procedures."
