All Anotec anodes are produced in accordance with Anotec's Product Specification and Quality Control Program ISO 9002. Records are systematically retained, covering production, testing and quality.
Anodes are traceable by crate production lot code, to production, testing and quality records.
It is rapid chill, rather than spinning, that promotes optimum structure and longer life. The anode interior, and cable connection seat, are precision cast by the shell process, assuring accurate fit to the die cast anchor. Consequently, centrifugal cast anodes tend to vary more widely in wall thickness and inner diameter and weight. In a typical test of randomly selectled Chill Cast Anodes, the weight deviation was approximately one half of one percent. Cable to anchor solder connections have a factor of safety of more than 1.5 times the cable strength.
