This is an introduction to cathodic protection for underground structures such as tanks and pipelines. It covers the two principal methods used to mitigate corrosion: the sacrificial anode and impressed current systems. It introduces you to the nine steps in designing a sacrificial anode system, the thirteen steps in designing an impressed current system, and the field testing requirements needed for both. It is intended for engineers and other construction professionals with a current or prospective need to understand the fundamentals of protecting underground structures such as tanks and pipelines from corrosion using sacrificial anode and impressed current cathodic protection systems.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the site testing requirements needed to design cathodic protection systems.
- Calculate current requirements based on coating efficiency and current density.
- Outline the nine steps used to design a sacrificial anode system.
- Describe the thirteen steps used to design an impressed current system.
- Calculate the number of anodes needed for sacrificial anode and impressed current systems.
- Determine the system life expectancy for a sacrificial anode system.
- Calculate the rectifier voltage required for an impressed current system.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
