Anode Cores - Hose Couplings and Petroleum Products
Sacrificial anode cores are replaceable zinc or aluminum elements used to provide galvanic corrosion protection for metallic marine equipment. In petroleum-transfer systems, they may be fitted where specified by the hose, coupling, or equipment manufacturer.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Anode Cores for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Material composition and installation should comply with the equipment manufacturer's requirements and applicable marine corrosion-control practices. No universal standard applies to all anode cores. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Approval is application-specific. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and other societies may accept anode arrangements as part of approved equipment or vessel systems, but individual cores are not universally class-approved. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Confirm anode alloy, dimensions, polarity, electrical continuity, and compatibility with the hose coupling and protected equipment. Install only in the manufacturer-designated location and ensure reliable metal-to-metal electrical contact. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect periodically for wastage, looseness, coating, and electrical continuity. Replace when substantially consumed or when the manufacturer specifies a renewal limit. Do not paint or coat the active anode surface. |
| Safety Notes | Isolate, depressurize, drain, and gas-free petroleum systems before dismantling couplings. Use only materials compatible with the conveyed product and avoid ignition sources during inspection or replacement. |
