Sacrificial anode method is used in the protection of pipelines which are buried underground. Sacrificial anode________________?

Correct answer: D. All A, B. & C.

  • A. Occurs higher in the electro-chemical series of metals
  • B. Is exemplified by magnesium plate
  • C. Is much cheaper than the cathodic base material to be guarded against corrosion
  • D. All A, B. & C.

Explanation

A sacrificial anode must be more readily oxidized than the protected pipeline, such as magnesium, and is usually inexpensive relative to the structure. Thus statements A, B, and C describe the method as intended.
