Magnesium rod is a metal rod mainly composed of magnesium element, also known as anode rod or flint. It is the waterproof scale corrosion in the electric water heater
Device is also a commonly used fire equipment for outdoor survival.
Product features:
- Anti corrosion characteristics: Magnesium rods have good strength and lightweight properties, as well as resistance to impact and acid and alkali, It has high strength under high heat resistance and can withstand a large amount of energy.
- Fire characteristics: Magnesium rods can be used in cold, humid and other environments, as long as there are dry sawdust, leaves, or even newspapers on site Magnesium rods can be used to ignite flint, and the maximum temperature produced by the magnesium rod can reach 5400 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 2982 degrees Celsius)
Application scope and usage method:
In the inner liner of the water heater, the magnesium rod and liner (mainly composed of iron) come into contact with water at the same time, forming a primary battery
The water in the inner tank is not pure water, often containing various impurities and having a certain degree of corrosiveness. When the water temperature exceeds 40 ℃
It will produce scale. By corroding the magnesium rod, the purpose of protecting the inner liner of the water heater can be achieved. The replacement of the magnesium rod in the water heater
The cycle is generally 1-2 years.
Note:
Due to the high current efficiency and utilization rate of magnesium rods, after long-term use, the magnesium rods will appear in a “sponge rod” state, reducing weight.
When the weight decreases to one-third of the original weight, the magnesium rod should be replaced. Magnesium rods are generally used for about a year and are considered vulnerable parts.
