[FONT=&quot]P[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ipe in Cage Technology having Electrolytic Earthing System is a multipurpose Earthing system. It has been designed to provide long term protection from lightning, electrical transients, static discharges, electro-magnetic interference and other electrical hazards. The system may be used for any application where the protection of machinery, electronics, and personnel is important.[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]P[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ipe in Cage

Technology was designed for use in any type of soil condition. Some of the many applications where it is commonly used include cellular, radio and television broadcasting sites, computer facilities, power substations, communication centers, medical facilities, industrial plants, commercial buildings and residence[/FONT]

Technology is guaranteed for 10 years, with an expected life of at least 15 years. The systems are available in various models. All electrodes are usually installed using an augur or other drilling equipment. The electrodes vary in length from 1650 mm to 3000 mm.[/FONT]

Technology effectively utilizes a hygroscopic process to acquire moisture from the atmosphere. The moisture and SFC {Support filling compound} surrounding the electrode reacts and creates an electrolytic solution.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]T[/FONT][FONT=&quot]h[/FONT][FONT=&quot]is electrolytic solution percolates into the surrounding soil. This process improves the soil conductivity and dramatically reduces electrical resistance between the electrode and the earth. The SFC specially developed having base of sodium bentonite (An absorbent aluminum silicate clay formed from volcanic ash) and other highly conductive materials having properties like non corrosive, non soluble in water having hygroscopic properties with low resistivity to provide a uniform low resistance path around the earth electrode. Our each model includes SFC Bags.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]e[/FONT][FONT=&quot]l[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ec[/FONT][FONT=&quot]trodes made from Stainless Steel Alloy?[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I[/FONT][FONT=&quot]n 1913, English metallurgist Harry Brearly, working on a project to improve rifle barrels, accidentally discovered that adding chromium to carbon steel gives it stain resistance. In addition to iron, carbon, and chromium, our stainless steel alloy contains other elements, such as nickel, niobium, molybdenum, and titanium. Nickel, molybdenum, niobium, and chromium enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel alloy.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]T[/FONT][FONT=&quot]h[/FONT][FONT=&quot]e chromium content of the steel allows the formation of a rough, adherent, invisible, corrosion resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface. If damaged mechanically or chemically, this film is self-healing, providing that oxygen, even in very small amounts, is present. The corrosion resistance and other useful properties of the steel are enhanced by increased chromium content and the addition of other elements.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]T[/FONT][FONT=&quot]h[/FONT][FONT=&quot]e[/FONT][FONT=&quot]se high-alloyed grades can resist corrosion in most acids, alkaline solutions, and chlorine bearing environments, properties which are essential requirement to perform at excellence by any earthing electrode.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ROLE OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS IN OUR STAINLESS STEEL ALLOY:[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]CHROMIUM[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Chromium is a highly reactive element and accounts for the “passive” nature of all stainless steels. Presence of chromium increases the resistance to the chemical effects of corrosion and the typical “rusting” (oxidation). Once the composition contains at least 10.5% chromium, an adherent and insoluble surface film is instantaneously formed that prevents the further diffusion of oxygen into the surface and prevents the oxidation of the iron in the matrix. The higher the chromium level the greater the protection.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]NICKEL[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Nickel is the essential allying element in our stainless steel alloy. The presence of nickel results in the formation of an “austenitic” structure that gives this alloy their strength, ductility and toughness, even at cryogenic temperatures. It also makes the material non-magnetic. While the role of nickel has no direct influence on the development of the “passive” surface layer, it results in significant improvement in resistance to acid attack, particularly with sulfuric acid.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]M[/FONT][FONT=&quot]A[/FONT][FONT=&quot]NGANESE[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Manganese is added to our stainless steels alloy to assist in de-oxidation, during melting, and to prevent the formation of iron sulfide inclusions which can cause hot cracking problems.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]SI[/FONT][FONT=&quot]LICON & COPPER[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]S[/FONT][FONT=&quot]m[/FONT][FONT=&quot]a[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ll amounts of silicon and copper are added to the stainless steels alloy to improve corrosion resistance to sulfuric acid. Silicon also improves oxidation resistance and is a “ferrite” stabilizer. In “austenitic stainless steels, high silicon contents improves resistance to oxidation and also prevents carburizing at elevated temperatures.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Note: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]From security point of view some other elements & it’s % of addition we can not disclose here[/FONT]
 
i'll sleep easier now i know my stainless steel frying pan won't rust away before i have my bacon&eggs in the morning.
