A recent survey of magnesium sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems installed on Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO) pipelines in 1998 revealed that many of the anodes had failed prematurely and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vessels that operate across the globe in waters of varying levels of salinity and temperature are susceptible to corrosion damage. For example, localized pitting can occur on steel or aluminium hull ...

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 ...

In 2014 Cathodic Anodes Australasia (CAA) purchased the benchtop optical emission spectrometer FOUNDRY-MASTER Xpert from Oxford Instruments. Here we examine their experience and what drove their ...

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 ...

This corroding galvanized steel pole exhibits red corrosion products due to corrosivity of soil, chloride ions and galvanic action. When Dawson Public Power District in Lexington, Nebraska, U.S., ...
