Fundamentals of Cathodic Protection
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 127, Issue 4
Abstract
Pipeline engineers are realizing more and more, the importance of considering the application of cathodic protection systems in conjunction with pipeline coatings to protect and extend the life of pipelines. The staggering yearly cost of corrosion on underground pipelines, amounting to as much as between 2% and 5% of the original investment, justifies the use of substantial engineering effort to reduce or mitigate this waste. A basic understanding of the causes of corrosion, principles of cathodic protection and an ability to at least assist in the design of cathodic protection systems are of considerable value to the present day pipeline engineer.
