Cathodic Protection Systems Design and Monitoring

Buried and submerged steel corrodes quietly until it leaks, and cathodic protection is the technique that holds that corrosion off for decades. This course explains how sacrificial anode and impressed current systems work, how they are designed for pipelines, tanks and structures, and how they are monitored to prove they are still doing their job. Delegates leave able to read survey results and keep a system healthy.
