How do you Install Pipeline Cathodic for Protection https://cortec-me.com/ • One of the main reasons for the unlikely breakdown in metallic structures is corrosion. There are naturally occurring potential variations in pipelines if they are unprotected. There always flows a current, which leads to galvanic corrosion, wherever you go from a minor positive to a minor negative. • Pipeline cathodic protection is an electrochemical process in which, for slowing or stopping the corrosion, direct current is applied to a metal. Putting cathode protection(CP) on a pipeline discharges off of the current of the anode and onto the pipeline, hence, prevents corrosion from happening, and therefore protects the pipeline. https://cortec-me.com/ Each system component of underground pipeline protection or CP has a unique tag that determines: • Anode, reference electrode, rectifier, etc. • The quantity of each of the above components • The amount of lead wire connected to an identical component from the above On each of the components, the tag has to be checked, and it has to be ensured that the quantity matches the information provided. https://cortec-me.com/ The installation process of pipeline cathodic • Firstly, for the number of anode rings and their spacing, reference electrodes, and the tank number, we need to refer to the installation drawings/calculation sheets. • Next, in the center of the tank, a stake has to be placed. The distance from the tank center to the first ring has to be measured. Now, using chalk or spray paints, we need to mark the anode ring location at several places. • The individual anode ring segments must be removed from the shipping reels, but not with a knife or any other sharp object. Every caution must be used to avoid any damage to the anode’s lead wire or its packaging fabric. • As determined in the second step, we need to place the anode rings. Each anode ring has the exact dimensions and includes cable tails that can extend up to 6 m beyond the tank’s edge. https://cortec-me.com/ • We need to ensure that the labels of each anode wire are intact. Next is to move the lead wires out of the conduit opening in the ring wall. • For the locations where each reference electrode has to be installed, we need to refer to the datasheet drawings. Next is to install these electrodes for which we need to go through the electrode packaging. • Once we are done with reference electrode installation, we need to route the lead cables along the same path as of anode lead cables. • Lastly, the cable tails have to be taped together and supported through the conduit opening in the ring wall, so that later they can be terminated in the mentioned junction box. https://cortec-me.com/ • If you are looking for the right place to get the best underground pipeline protection services, Cortec Me is your one-stop destination at all times.
