TELPRO Linear Sock Anode is available with TELPRO MMO Wire or Ribbon Anodes. The titanium used in manufacturing meets ASTM B863 for wire and ASTM B265 for ribbon. The titanium is coated using TELPRO mixed metal oxide coating suitable for the application (see below for details).
The anode-to-cable connection is made using a copper compression connector which is sealed using a moisture resistant epoxy. Spacing of the connections will vary depending on the anode used, cable size used and environment where assembly will be installed.
APPLICATIONS FOR TELPRO LINEAR SOCK ANODE:
- Above-and-below-ground storage tanks
- Conventional groundbeds
- Pipelines
- Congested plant areas

Anode materials: Titanium Wire MMO/Ti Wire 1.5mm or 3mm ASTM 8863 Grade 1 Or Titanium MMO/Ti Ribbon nominal dimensions: 6.35mm x 0.6mm ASTM 8265 Grade 1
Sleeve diameter: 38mm
Anode cable: To client specification but as standard #8 AWG{10mm2) HMWPE with 1m free cable tail at either end for splicing/termination.
Custom cable: Available as per client request in HALAR/HMWPE or PVDF/HMWPE
Cable to wire/ ribbon connection: Every 10m as a minimum. Note that spacing will vary dependent upon several factors such as • Anode used • Cable size • Environment the TELPRO Linear sock anode is placed in. Note: TELPRO can assist with design optimization of your product.
Cable wire / ribbon splice: Proprietary technique using • Copper compression connector • Two-part epoxy resin • Heat-shrink sleeve.
Product weight: Approximately l.5Kgs per linear m
Backfill weight: Approximately 1.15Kgs per linear m
Jacket material and construction: The linear anode and cable is assembled in a highly absorbent fabric sleeve. The fabric sleeve is sewn using a poly four thread double interlocking stitch, which prevents the seam from separating during installation or when stored in high-temperature conditions.
Testing:• Anode to cable seal is resin filled and helium tested for an effective seal of the connection. • Anode to cable connection is checked for resistance. • Cable and anode are checked for electrical continuity and resistance. • MMO coating is tested using an X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer to verify coating loading and adhesion.
Packing: Wooden reel ready for export/domestic shipment as required.
Marking: Each length of anode is labeled to show • Section length • Current output • Cable type • Diameter
