12、alvanic anodes for offshore pipeline applications. The objectives are to standardize an industry-wide practice that can be used by consultants, manufacturers, and users to define the physical requirements of anodes and to be sufficiently specific to assist inspection authorities in their task of con

13、firming that anodes comply with the physical requirements. This standard is applicable to typical half-shell or segmented bracelet-type anodes. This standard was originally prepared in 1992 by Task Group T-7L-9, a component of Unit Committee T-7L on Cathodic Protection. It was reaffirmed by T-7L in

14、1999, and in 2006 by Specific Technology Group (STG) 30 on Oil and Gas ProductionCathodic Protection. This standard is published under the auspices of STG 30. In NACE standards, the terms shall, must, should, and may are used in accordance with the definitions of these terms in the NACE Publications

17、1 This standard defines minimum physical quality and inspection requirements for bracelet galvanic anodes for offshore pipeline applications, including risers and J-tubes. 1.2 This standard is applicable to the majority of bracelet-type anodes used on offshore pipelines, i.e., anodes of half-shell o

18、r segmented configurations. For other anode designs, such as semi-cylindrical segments with cast-in longitudinal notches, an experienced corrosion specialist should be responsible for defining the acceptance criteria. 1.3 This standard does not specify particular anode alloy compositions or define s

19、hort- or long-term performance tests. 1.4 This standard does not specify particular anode or anode insert designs. An experienced corrosion specialist should be responsible for anode and anode insert design. 1.5 Although some aspects of this standard may be relevant to other types of galvanic anodes

20、, it is not intended to apply to platform, hull, tank, or extruded-type anodes. 1.6 This standard does not address electrochemical or other anode performance test procedures. NACE Standard TM01901gives a standardized short-term potential and capacity determination test procedure for quality control

21、purposes in international laboratories. 1.7 The manufacturer is responsible for meeting the quality levels specified in this standard. The purchaser shall determine the extent of inspection to be conducted by the purchasing organization to prove compliance with the quality specified. _ Section 2: De

22、finitions Bracelet Anodes: Galvanic anodes with geometry suitable for direct attachment around the circumference of a pipeline. These may be half-shell bracelets consisting of two semi-circular sections or segmented bracelets consisting of a large number of individual anodes. Certificate of Conformi

23、ty: A statement from the manufacturers representative (executive) and endorsed by a representative of the purchaser affirming that the anodes listed comply with the requirements of the order. Cold Lap: (1) Discontinuity caused by solidification of the meniscus of a partially cast anode as a result o

24、f interrupted flow of the casting stream. The solidified meniscus is covered with metal when the flow resumes. Cold laps can occur along the length of an anode. (2) A protective film consisting of one or more coats, applied in a predetermined order by prescribed methods to an as-specified dry film t

25、hickness, including any reinforcing material that may be specified. Cold Shut: Horizontal surface discontinuity caused by solidification of a portion of a meniscus during the progressive filling of a mold, which is later covered with more solidifying metal as the molten metal level rises. Cold shuts

26、 generally occur at corners remote from the point of pour. Cracking: Fracture of metal along an irregular path producing a discontinuity similar to a ragged edge. It can occur during the solidification of the anode (hot cracking), during the contraction of the anode after solidification, or under ex

27、ternally applied loads. Hot cracking may be associated with the shrinkage depression that can occur in open-topped molds. Dulling of Steels: Deterioration in the appearance of shot-blasted inserts due to oxidation that causes darkening of the surface but not rust discoloration (see Rust Discoloratio

28、n). Electrochemical Properties: Those properties of potential and current capacity that characterize a sacrificial anode and can be assessed by quantitative tests. Former: A length of pipe of diameter appropriate to the cast anode bracelet that can be used as a form to mechanically straighten a defo

29、rmed casting. Galvanic Anode: A metal that provides the sacrificial protection to another metal that is more noble when electrically coupled in an electrolyte. This type of anode is the electron source in one type of cathodic protection. Gas Holes: Evidence of bubbles within the solidifying metal. T

30、he holes can indicate that moisture was on the mold or insert prior to casting or that the liquid metal contained a high level of hydrogen that formed bubbles during cooling of the metal. Heat: Also called a melt or cast, it is the unit that defines molten metal and identifies the anodes cast from i

31、t. A heat is the product that is cast to a planned procedure in one melting operation in one furnace, without significant interruption. If the casting sequence is interrupted, the anodes produced before, between, and after the interruption constitute batches. SP0492-2006 2 NACE International Insert:

32、 The form over which the anode is cast. This is sometimes referred to as a core. Low-Carbon Steel: Steel having less than 0.30% carbon and no intentional alloying additions. Nonmetallic Inclusions: Particles of oxides and other refractory materials entrapped in liquid metal during the melting or cas

33、ting sequences. Porosity: Uniformly distributed fine holes caused by gas bubbles, shrinkage (formed by the starvation of eutectic material within the dendrite arms during “unfed” solidification), or a combination of the two mechanisms when hydrogen in solution diffuses into the lower-pressure shrink

34、age voids. Protrusion: Extraneous material on the anode surface. It may interfere with the anode-to-structure fit, appear unattractive, and be a safety hazard if there are sharp edges. Protrusions can be formed by careless filling of the mold or the flash from imperfect fitting of mold sections. Rim

35、med Steel: An incompletely deoxidized steel. Also called Rimming Steel. (See ASM(1)Handbook, Desk Ed.,2for a detailed definition.) Rust Discoloration: A brown bloom of iron oxide. Sacrificial Anodes: See Galvanic Anode. Sample: A representative specimen. Shrinkage Depression: The natural concave sur

36、face produced when liquid metal is allowed to solidify in a container without the provision of extra liquid metal to compensate for the reduction in volume that occurs during the liquid-solid transformation. The term also applies to the concave surface produced when liquid metal is solidified in a c

37、losed mold in such a manner that the area is not “fed” by the liquid metal provided by the riser of the casting. Tap Sample: A specimen taken from a molten metal stream. Such samples may be taken at the commencement of pouring and then at regular intervals until a final sample is taken at the end of

38、 the pour. Voids Adjacent to Insert: Visible spaces between anode and anode insert materials. These can be caused by surface evaporation of moisture from the insert, contraction of the insert, or movement of the insert during casting caused by uneven heating and expansion that distorts the insert an

39、d prevents it from returning to its original, desired position within the anode. _ Section 3: Physical Requirements of Anodes 3.1 Samples for Chemical Analysis 3.1.1 Representative tap samples shall be taken at the beginning and end of each heat.
