4. Determine maximum weight per bracelet (assuming 1 bracelet per 1000 feet,
maximum allowable spacing).
Wmax = [WT (lb)/L(miles) 5.28 (1000 ft/mile)]
= 4260/8.0 5.28 = 101 lb/1000 ft
5. Select a standard size anode (Figure 1200-19). A 64-lb anode 11 in. long
1 in. thick is suitable. Determine number of these bracelet anodes required.

6. Determine anode spacing.
Sa = total length (ft)/Na

7. Determine the interval of pipe joints for anode installation.
Interval = Sa (ft)/average pipe joint (ft)
= 630/40
= 15.8 (round-down to 15)
8. Determine the number of anodes required for a 15-joint spacing.

Revised Na = No. of joints/interval
= 1056/15
