This European Standard shall be given the status of a national sta
16、ndard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rig
17、hts. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
18、Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the Un

BS EN 12496:2013EN 12496:2013 (E) 4 Introduction The anticipated performance, including design life, of the cast galvanic anodes for use in sea water and saline mud is determined by their composition and the quality of their manufacture. This European Standard specifies the minimum req
20、uirements for the galvanic anodes quality levels and verification procedures. BS EN 12496:2013EN 12496:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements and gives recommendations for the chemical composition, the electrochemical properties, the physical tolerances, and the
21、 test and inspection procedures for cast galvanic anodes of aluminium, magnesium and zinc based alloys for cathodic protection in sea water and saline mud. This European Standard is applicable to the majority of galvanic anodes used for seawater and saline mud applications, i.e. cast anodes of trape
22、zoidal, “D“, or circular cross section and bracelet type anodes. The general requirements and recommendations of this European Standard may also be applied to other anode shapes, e.g. half-spherical, button, etc., which are sometimes used for seawater applications. 2 Normative references The followi

27、 definitions given in EN ISO 8044 and EN 12473 and the following apply. 3.1 acidity presence of an excess of hydrogen ions over hydroxyl ions (pH 300 mm and 610 mm; iii) -0 / + 1 % for pipeline diameters 610 mm. 3) The dimensional tolerances on the anode thickness shall be 3 mm. At least 10 % of the
28、 total number of anodes shall be checked to confirm compliance with these requirements. BS EN 12496:2013EN 12496:2013 (E) 15 Anodes shall be free from excessive bowing or twisting. This shall be verified on a completely assembled bracelet by fitting to a full-length former or by any other agreed met
29、hod. The external diameter should at no point exceed the summation of the tolerances given above. A.3 Steel core The cross section dimensions of the anode core shall comply with the appropriate specification. The tolerances for the position of the core for bracelet and flush mounting anodes shall be
30、 5 mm and for stand-off type anodes 10 % of anode material thickness covering the core. Anode core protrusions and any other specified critical dimensions shall be measured on samples of all anodes of each type and shall conform to specified requirements. A.4 Anode surface irregularities All anodes
31、shall be inspected visually to confirm compliance with the following requirements. Shrinkage depressions shall not exceed 10 % of the nominal thickness or depth of the anode, as measured from the uppermost corner to the bottom of the depression. Shrinkage depressions that expose the anode core are n
32、ot acceptable. In the topping up area the maximum shrinkage shall not be more than 10 mm depth measured from a straight edge across the topping up face and not more than 0,5 % of the gross anode volume. Any additional topping up materials or casting surface irregularities shall be fully bonded with
33、the bulk anode material. Cold shuts shall not exceed a depth of 10 mm and/or extend over a total length of more than 3 times the width of the anode (for stand-off and flush mounting anodes) or more than 150 mm (for bracelet anodes). All protrusions that are hazardous to personnel during handling sha
34、ll be removed. A.5 Cracks in cast anodic material A.5.1 General All anodes shall be inspected visually to confirm compliance with the following requirements. Even with good foundry practice, particular anode alloy composition (notably aluminium based) may suffer a degree of cracking. Cracks may occu
35、r while cooling during the casting of galvanic anodes because of the different coefficients of expansion of the anode and the core. These cracks are not detrimental, provided they do not converge in a manner to allow loss of anode material. A small amount of warpage is acceptable if it does not adve
36、rsely affect the anode installation. No treatment shall be applied to grind, peen, or in any other manner dress cracks before inspection and checks. Zinc and magnesium anodes shall be free from cracking visible without the aid of magnification. Small cracks in the anodes can be accepted in aluminium
37、 anodes provided the cracks would not cause any mechanical failure during installation, transportation or service of the anode. The combination of cracks and lack of bond to the core is detrimental. Visible cracks in the area where the anode material is not internally supported by the core shall not
38、 be accepted. Cracks penetrating to the steel core or penetrating through the anode are not permitted. BS EN 12496:2013EN 12496:2013 (E) 16 A.5.2 Stand-off and flush mounting anodes For transverse cracks within the section of an anode wholly supported by the core, the following acceptance criteria s
39、hall be applied: Cracks within the section of an anode supported by the core are not acceptable if the length is more than 100 mm and/or the width is more than 1 mm. Maximum 10 cracks per anode. Cracks which follow the longitudinal direction of long slender anodes shall not be accepted. A.5.3 Bracel
40、et anodes Cracks with a length of more than 100 mm or 50 % of the anode length (whichever is greater) and/or cracks with a width greater than 3 mm are not acceptable. Provided the above is satisfied, the following cracks are acceptable in transverse direction: A maximum number of two cracks is accep
41、table if they do not exceed the following criteria. Cracks with a length of less than 50 mm or less than 20 % of the anode diameter, whichever is less, and width less than 3 mm. Cracks with a length between 50 mm and 200 mm or between 20 % and 50 % of the anode diameter, whichever is less, and width
42、 less than 1 mm. Cracks with a length between 50 mm and 200 mm shall be limited to 2 per half bracelet or 4 per anode. Cracks which follow the longitudinal direction of the anodes shall not exceed 100 mm or 20 % of anode length, whichever is less, and/or 1 mm in width. Acceptance criteria for other
43、sizes of cracks would be dependent upon core and anode design. A.6 Internal defects and destructive testing The number and method of selection of anodes to be destructively tested (sectioned) within each anode type/size shall take into account anode design, and the total number of anodes. If the ano
44、de does not meet the requirements below, an additional anode shall be subjected to destructive testing. If this does not satisfy specified requirements, the whole anode lot should be rejected or other actions taken as agreed prior to fabrication. Slender and flush mounting anodes selected for examin
45、ation shall be sectioned transversely by single cuts at 25 %, 50 %, and 75 % of nominal length, or at other agreed locations for a particular anode design. Bracelet anodes selected for examination shall be sectioned transversely by single cuts at 25 % and 50 % of nominal length, or at other agreed l
46、ocations for a particular anode design. The cut faces, when examined visually without magnification, shall conform to the following criteria: Gas holes and porosities shall be limited to maximum 2 % of the total cut surface areas, and maximum 5 % of any individual cut surface area; no cavity shall e
47、xceed 1 cm for the cross-sectional area in the transverse section. Non-metallic inclusions shall be limited to maximum 1 % of the total cut surface areas and maximum 2 % of any individual cut surface area; no non-metallic inclusion shall exceed 1 cm. BS EN 12496:2013EN 12496:2013 (E) 17 Lack of bond
48、 (voids adjacent to the core) shall be limited to maximum 10 % of the total anode core perimeter and maximum 20 % of the perimeter for any individual cut. For non-tubular cores where prevention of voids may be particularly difficult, the limits may be otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and th
49、e purchaser. The core position within the anode should be confirmed by measurement on the cut faces.
