Cathodic Protection: Application & Testing in Plants
Cathodic protection (CP) systems are designed to protect metal piping and tanks from soil-side corrosion, and this SI Webinar focuses on CP applications in plants of all kinds. Topics include the history of CP; plant structures and components that can benefit from CP; types of CP systems; interaction between protective coatings and CP; CP application and testing issues related to plant piping; designing plant CP systems; and methods for monitoring CP effectiveness in plants.
