6.2.3 Deep anode systems should be designed and
installed in accordance with NACE Standard RP0572.

6.2.4 Anode materials have varying rates of
deterioration when discharging current. Therefore, for
a given output, the anode life depends on the
environment, anode material, anode weight, and the
number of anodes in the cathodic protection system.
Established anode performance data should be used
to calculate the probable life of the system.
