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. […]

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’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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

To calculate protection current, there are two general approaches. First, some cathodic protection (CP) engineers use the protection current density, including the coating breakdown (CB) effect. In contrast, some others consider coating breakdown as a […]

We can express an anode’s consumption rate and electrochemical capacity in different units: SI or Imperil. What’s more, sometimes converting between the two units can help us understand the value better and use it more […]

You always work with numbers as an engineer, inspector, or technician. But unfortunately, the units used are not the same, and you will often need to convert them. You can enter the values for each […]

In CCPTools, all cathodic protection and corrosion functions, from material information to calculations, unit conversions and measurements, are available in six languages. CCPTools is available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. You can […]
