An Electrochemical Method for Measuring Localized Corrosion under Cathodic Protection

An Electrochemical Measurement for Evaluating the Cathodic Disbondment of Buried Pipeline Coatings under Cathodic Protection

Steel pipelines are susceptible to corrosion by the action of corrosive substance in the environment and one of the most common failure modes in buried pipeline coatingis cathodic disbondment. Consequently, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was used to assess the effect of three important parameters, the thickness of coating, the artificial defect ...

steel pipelines are susceptible to corrosion by the action of corrosive substance in the environment and one of the most common failure modes in buried pipeline coatingis cathodic disbondment. consequently, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) was used to assess the effect of three important parameters, the thickness of coating, the artificial defect and electrolyte type, on cathodic di...

Corrosion and Cathodic Protection in Underground Piping Systems

THE GALVANIC CELL The major corrosion concern in the water works industry is “galvanic” corrosion. Galvanic corrosion takes place due to current flow in a “galvanic cell” which is defined as (1) two dissimilar metals, an anode and a cathode, (2) in electrical contact with each other and (3) a common electrolyte. A galvanic cell is produced when the pipeline components come in contact with the s...
