GL-10011 /
Rod made of drawn steel, galvanically coated with pure copper (99.9%), having strong molecular adhesion to steel. Steel rod has high tensile strength of 600 N / mm², so that it can be plugged to great depth with a breaker hammer.
The copper coating of not less than 0.250 mm thick ensures that the rod hammered into the ground is safe for at least 30 years.
The ends of the rods are threaded by rolling application method which allows to connect them to each other with the help of a coupler - to create a ground electrode of great length.

Copper bonding technology
The key factor in the manufacture of a high-quality ground rod is formation of a firm homogeneous copper coating of the required thickness with minimal impurity elements on a steel blank.
On a separate page "steel" you will see a detailed description of the main characteristics, processes during the manufacture and test of coating.
Comparison with galvanized rods
From 1910 to 1955 the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the United States (NIST) held an extensive study of underground corrosion, during which 36 500 samples representing 333 different coatings of ferrous and nonferrous metals and protective materials were tested in 128 locations across the United States *. This study is considered to be one of the most complete corrosion studies ever held.
One of the results of this study was the fact that the ground rod coated with 254 micron copper retains its technical characteristics for more than 40 years in the majority of soil types. Rod electrodes coated with 99.06 microns of zync can maintain their qualities in the same soils for only 10-15 years.
Besides, the term of protection of zinc coating decreases in proportion to the increase of the number of metal structures in the ground, located close to the electrodes (the more structures - the less the coating serves / the faster it "disappears"). Examples of these designs can be: reinforcement of building foundations, pipes, etc.
Ground rod with copper coating 254 microns thick, extracted from the soil (clay loam) after 10 years
99-micron thick zinc-coated ground rod extracted from the soil (clay loam) 10 years later
Another study of corrosion properties of copper coating was held by a Polish company GALMAR. Artificial aging of samples in the conditions simulating aggressive ground ( "acid" moor), showed that the ground rod with a copper coating of 250 micron retains the necessary technical characteristics for at least 30 years..

Comparison with copper-bonded rods
of noname * -manufacturers
Often, noname-manufacturers use unknown materials and technologies for coating. The consequence of this is disturbance (eg, corrosion) of the coating material at the storage warehouses.
On the right for comparison - GALMAR rod and coupler.
* noname (no name) - here: a manufacturer, not having his own brand with a market goodwill.
