Abstract: Grounding of the pipe is necessary to assure a low-impedance path for line-to-ground faults and to reduce voltages on the pipe caused by induction from overhead lines, switching surges, and ...

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...

This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is widely used, but how it works exactly has been unclear and disputed by experts. ETH researchers propose a mechanism that resolves the apparent contradictions between ...

ABSTRACT: Cathodic Protection system is an efficient system used for protecting the underground metal objects from corrosion. In this paper the use of Cathodic Protection (CP) system and how they can ...

Two new methods for designing pipeline cathodic-protection systems employ newly developed CP design software for marine pipelines. One method is based upon the recently developed Slope Parameter; the ...

It’s only a matter of time before someone in a power plant is killed by a preventable catastrophic failure of a buried natural gas pipeline. The danger posed is less the result of willful negligence ...
