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 ...

During the 2005 National Electrical Code (NEC) review cycle, a relatively simple revision was made that created a significant change on the cathodic protection (CP) systems of petroleum and chemical ...

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...

Corrosion is a primary cause for in-service degradation of steel structures in T&D lines, sometimes assisted by mechanical and microbiological actions, depending on the nature of the service ...

A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

A process which involves deterioration or degradation of metal is referred to as corrosion. The most typical example of corrosion is the degradation of alloys or metals. Usually, corrosion phenomena ...
