Description
This standard provides guidelines for the cathodic protection of external surfaces of compact buried structures, including tank farms, service station tanks, tower footings, steel pilings (in soil), short well-casings, compressor and pump stations and associated pipework.
Scope
The Standard specifically covers the following subjects which relate to cathodic protection:
- (a) The design of structures requiring cathodic protection.
- (b) Coatings for use on buried metal structures.
- (c) Criteria for choice of cathodic protection potential.
- (d) The design of cathodic protection systems.
- (e) The installation of cathodic protection systems.
- (f) The control of interference currents on foreign structures.
- (g) The cathodic protection of structures subject to stray direct current.
- (h) The operation and maintenance of cathodic protection systems.
Notes
- A different approach is required to achieve satisfactory protection of mounded installations to that for installations buried below ground.
- Guidance on the general use and design of cathodic protection systems, and factors affecting the corrosion of buried metallic structures are given in Appendix A.
- This Standard employs positive current flow and uses the potential sign conventions specified in AS 1852.
