Soil Resistivity: Humidity and Type
The resistivity is the main character of the soil in cathodic protection calculations and its corrosivity evaluation. In CCPTools, it is possible to approximate the soil resistivity range based on the soil type and humidity. […]
Soil Resistivity for Area
Soil resistivity can be extracted in a grid pattern in a site location. With grid resistivity data, you can have an iso-resistance map of the area. For better evaluation, it’s best to compare the iso-resistance […]
Miscellaneous Cathodic Protection Materials
The main components of the cathodic protection system, such as anodes, TRs, and cable, are present in CCPTools in separate sections. The remaining miscellaneous cathodic protection materials cover cable-to-cable, cable-to-pipe or cable-to-structure connections and markers. […]
Companies Active in Cathodic Protection
In CCPTools, there is a dedicated section for companies active in cathodic protection and corrosion. We do our best to make the list as complete as possible, but each company’s support is critical. In the […]
Soil Corrosivity
Soil’s corrosivity depends on different parameters, such as water level, resistivity, corrosive ion content, microorganisms, pH, and oxygen penetrability. Electrolytes are necessary for soil corrosion, and the electrolyte (water) level directly affects soil resistivity. Consequently, […]
ICCP Anode Life: Ti-MMO
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) anode life is a designing parameter. The most common anode in ICCP is Dimensionally Stable Anode (DSA). DSA means the changes in the dimension are low but not zero. This […]
Decimal and Accuracy in Functions and Calculations
Accuracy in a calculation depends on the decimal place used in inputs and some generic coefficients, such as the number pi. Nevertheless, the calculation method is another critical parameter when it comes to accuracy in […]
Corrosion Rate Conversion
The conversion of different units of corrosion rate or corrosion penetration rate has a simple rule. However, it is not always fast and easy. Corrosion rate makes use of different unit types, and we may […]
Shunt Conversion Calculator: Voltage to Current
CCPTools has a user-friendly shunt conversion calculator. The shunt is an electrical resistor used for measuring current. A simple component, it can be permanently installed in the current path. As a result, there is no […]
Resistivity and Conductivity
We use electrical resistivity in some calculations and measurements related to corrosion and cathodic protection and others related to conductivity. For this reason, converting them back and forth is sometimes necessary. Resistivity means resistance to […]
