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 […]
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 […]
Coating Breakdown
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 […]
Cable Sizing in Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)
Cable sizing in the Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system is an essential design parameter, especially for distributed anode systems or those that need high protection current. In cable sizing, we are looking for the […]
Shunt Application in Cathodic Protection
The shunt provides simple resistance, stable in high DC with low internal resistivity. It is a functional electrical component for continuously measuring the circuit’s current. Keep in mind that the clamp multimeter is not typically […]
