Effects of Coating on Corrosion and Cathodic Protection

The four basic elements of a corrosion cell are an anode, a cathode, and the metallic and electrolytic pathways between them. Corrosion control can be achieved by eliminating (or reducing) any of these elements. One such method is to modify the … [Continue reading]

Close-Interval Potential Surveys

The principle of a close-interval potential survey (CIPS or CIS) is to record the pipe-to-soil (P/S) potential profile of a pipeline over its entire length by measuring potentials at intervals that do not significantly exceed the depth of the pipe … [Continue reading]

Special Cathodic Protection Requirements for Specific Pipeline Applications

Most pipeline cathodic protection (CP) applications involve either galvanic anode or impressed current CP (ICCP) systems installed in earth for protection of external surfaces. Of the galvanic anode installations in neutral soils, magnesium is the … [Continue reading]

Application of Organic Coatings

Organic coatings include latex paints, plastics, asphaltic materials, rubbers, and elastomers. The specific material selected for a coating job must have characteristics that would allow its proper application under all conditions existing during the … [Continue reading]

Corrosion Basics: Close-Interval Potential Surveys

By Pierre R. Roberge on 2/29/2016 5:13 PM The principle of a close-interval potential survey (CIPS or CIS) is to record the pipe-to-soil (P/S) potential profile of a pipeline over its entire length by measuring potentials at intervals that do … [Continue reading]

Corrosion Basics: Stray Current Effects

By Pierre R. Roberge on 6/30/2016 3:34 PM The sources of dynamic stray currents include direct current (DC) railway systems. Before preparing a cathodic protection (CP) design, the possible presence of stray currents must be considered. Stray … [Continue reading]

Using Scanning Kelvin Probe for Coating and Corrosion Study

 Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) Principle Scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) is a technique allowing a non-contact measurement of the  surface of a metal giving values of corrosion potentials that can be calibrated to a standard scale [1].  The SKP uses a … [Continue reading]
