Therefore in this example the manufacturers recommended weight of magnesium anodes would be 14kg to 20kg. Luckily anodes are sold by weight. Common sizes are 1.5kg, 2.5kg and 3.5kg ingots for standard weld-on canal boat anodes.nodes will offer protection based on the Noble Series of metals. The theory is that by attaching a piece of metal to the hull that is more reactive than the hull itself then this piece of metal will corrode first. For our inland waters we use sacrificial magnesium anodes for protection.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity while fresh water or tap water may be said to be a modest conductor and salt water has a much higher conductivity than fresh wate â¦ r. The electrical conductivity of water, both pure water and water with dissolved salts, is simpler to measure than to explain.
A. Water doesn't conduct electricity at all ... sorry but it is true. Joyce, don't be quick to jump to conclusions based on myths you've been told all your life. The truth is water DOES conduct electricity, even PURE DISTILLED water. The fact is electrically speaking there is 3 categories of materials: Conductors, insulators, and semi-conductors. Even insulators will conduct electricity if sufficient voltage is applied to them to overcome their huge resistance.
