The most common application of cathodic protection is controlling corrosion on buried structures, such as pipelines and storage tanks. For underground structures, both impressed current and sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems are feasible and the most appropriate system is chosen based on life cycle cost for the system.

Introductory technical guidance for professional engineers and construction managers interested in cathodic protection of underground and underwater structures. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION 2. SACRIFICIAL ANODE CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN PROCEDURES 3. DETERMINATION OF CURRENT REQUIRED FOR PROTECTION 4. DETERMINATION OF ANODE OUTPUT 5. DETERMINATION OF NUMBER OF ANODES REQUIRED 6. DETERMINATION OF ANODE LIFE 7. SEASONAL VARIATION IN ANODE OUTPUT 8. SACRIFICIAL ANODE MATERIALS 9. OTHER SYSTEM COMPONENTS

This publication provides professional engineers and construction managers with over 350 pages of technical guidance for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of cathodic protection systems. Here is what is discussed: 1. CATHODIC PROTECTION CONCEPTS, CRITERIA, PRECAUTIONS, 2. CONSTRUCTING AND MAINTAINING CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS, 3. IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION, 4. CATHODIC PROTECTION INSPECTION AND TESTING, 5. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM, 6. CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE, 7. CATHODIC PROTECTION PRINCIPLES, 8.
