Corrosion Engineering

This handbook introduces all aspects of cathodic protection in terms of both practice and theory. The volume covers - Historic development of corrosion protection; fundamentals and concepts of corrosion and electrochemical corrosion protection; fundamentals and practice of electrical measurements; corrosion in water and soil. Corrosion protection by coatings and cladding; sacrificial anodes; impressed current anodes. Impressed current installations and protective current instruments; impressed current installations in the ground and influential factors; pipelines; storage containers and storage tanks; local cathodic protection; telephone cable; power cables; influence of stray current and stray current protection; marine buildings and offshore pipelines; cathodic protection of ships; cathodic protection of borehole piping; cathodic protection of reinforcing steel in concrete structures; internal cathodic protection of water tanks; electrochemical corrosion protection for internal surfaces of apparatus, containers, and pipes; effect on long conducting pipelines of high voltage installations; current and voltage distribution in a stationary electric field.
