Cathodic Protection
The application of cathodic protection (CP) for steel gas pipelines started in
the 1930s. This technology was rapidly adopted by the oil and gas pipeline
industry to protect the pipeline by applying -850 mV vs. Cu/CuSO4 in
conjunction with polymeric coatings. Protecting
the external surface of oil and gas pipelines by the application of cathodic
protection is one of the requirements (CSA Z662-99).
The objective of the PICon/CP section is to provide information on cathodic
protection. Please let PICon know your ideas, suggestions
and thoughts on issues related to pipeline CP.
PICon organizes an online journal. The schedule and papers published by the Journal are available at
PICon Journal.
