All baskets available in:

  • Titanium
  • Tantalum
  • Zirconium
  • Niobium

  • Monel

Considerations for Basket Sizing:

  • Baskets should be 2″ to 4″ shorter than the longest piece of work.
  • Baskets should be 1″ above the solution level.
  • Hook length is measured from the top of anode bar to 1″ above the solution level.
  • Quantities for rectangular baskets should be three (3) 2.5″ x 6″ baskets for every two feet above the bar.

Sizing and Styles:

  • Rectangular Baskets – 2.5″ x 6″ – Standard Stock Lengths include 18″, 24″, 30″, 36″. Other lengths are built to order.
