  2. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Cathodic protection (CP; / kæˈθɒdɪk / ⓘ) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. [1] A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded "sacrificial metal" to act as the anode. The sacrificial metal then corrodes instead ...

  3. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    Corrosion prevention measures, including Cathodic protection, designing to prevent corrosion and coating of structures fall within the regime of corrosion engineering. However, corrosion science and engineering go hand-in-hand and they cannot be separated: it is a permanent marriage to produce new and better methods of protection from time to time.

  4. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    Galvanic anode. The bright rectangular objects on these ship components are galvanic anodes. A galvanic anode, or sacrificial anode, is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative ...

  5. Heat-shrinkable sleeve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrinkable_sleeve

    As described above, the heat-shrinkable sleeves have an adhesive that sticks the sleeve to the cutback and the factory applied mainline coating and also acts as a corrosion protective layer. The backing provides mechanical protection against abrasion and soil stress forces after the pipeline is buried. Heat wrap tape may used in addition for ...

  6. Fusion bonded epoxy coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_bonded_epoxy_coating

    Fusion bonded epoxy coating, also known as fusion-bond epoxy powder coating and commonly referred to as FBE coating, is an epoxy -based powder coating that is widely used to protect steel pipe used in pipeline construction from corrosion. It is also commonly used to protect reinforcing bars (though being phased out as of 2005 [1]) and on a wide ...

  7. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. Cathodic protection systems are most commonly used to protect steel pipelines and tanks; steel pier piles, ships, and offshore oil platforms.

  8. DCVG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCVG

    DCVG. DCVG (direct current voltage gradient) is a survey technique used for assessing the effectiveness of corrosion protection on buried steel structures. [1] In particular, oil and natural gas pipelines are routinely monitored using this technique to help locate coating faults and highlight deficiencies in their cathodic protection (CP ...

  9. Stress corrosion cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_corrosion_cracking

    Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected and sudden failure of normally ductile metal alloys subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature. SCC is highly chemically specific in that certain alloys are likely to undergo SCC only when exposed to a ...
