Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries

  Advertisement

Preface :

The oil and gas industry relies on the strength of steel and other metals to build pipelines, storage tanks, and other infrastructure that stand up to the rigors of industry activity. However, metal has one major weakness: when it comes into contact with water or soil, it can corrode. It is obvious, corrosion in a pipeline or storage tank is not good.

This engineering book covers the minimum requirements for anodes (high- silicon iron, graphite, magnetite) for use in impressed current CP systems. It specifies the composition, materials, manufacture, properties, inspection, and testing for high-silicon iron, graphite, and magnetite anodes.Moreover, this book revised survey requirements to ascertain that corrosion control systems installed on buried or submerged structures are properly designed, operated, and effectively maintained. This book also provides information concerning techniques, equipment, measurements, and test methods used in field application. It deals with inspection of coatings in conjunction with CP for its efficiency on current distribution.
