The operating performance of Al/Zn/In and Al/Zn/Hg anodes from several tests are quantified in terms of anode operating potential and current capacity. Results from laboratory constant current tests on Al/Zn/In anodes under a variety of conditions, and field tests in the Gulf of Mexico on Al/Zn/Hg anodes are reported. A comparison of data obtained from laboratory tests and field measurements is also presented. Additionally, a relationship which enables the practical capacity of Al/Zn/In and Al/Zn/Hg anodes to be determined as a function of anodic operating current density and auto-corrosion current density is presented.
