A cathodic protection program is a preventative maintenance program to ensure cathodic protection systems at a facility are maintained and tested in a cost effective, regular interval and remedial repairs are performed in a timely manner.
A well run program should include budgeting and personnel for the following:
- Training for technical personnel
- Monitoring of CP system by on-site personnel
- Annual surveys by CP experts
- On call services of corrosion technical experts to inspect corrosion failures
- On call services of corrosion technical experts to help design remedial repairs
- Periodic CP system repairs.
- Records maintenance for inspection by regulatory agencies and maintenance personnel.
NACE International www. nace.org maintains a directory of technical experts in cathodic protection.

What else can I help you with?
What is cathodic protection used for?
Cathodic protection is a way of preventing or controlling corrosion of a metal structure.
What is used for protection?
Cathodic protection is used to control corrosion of metal on the surface of structures in various environments. In some cases Cathodic protection can prevent stress corrosion and fracturing.
KKS Power Plant Classification System for Cathodic Protection?
The KKS system is a standardized system for the classification of technical equipment in power plants. It does not specifically address cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems are typically classified based on their method (e.g., impressed current or sacrificial anode) and location within the power plant.
Is cathodic and sacrificial protection different and if so what are the differences?

What protects metal from rusting?
Coatings Cathodic Protection If steel- galvanizing
What is cathodic protectin survey?
Cathodic protection survey is a method used to assess the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems on buried or submerged metal structures like pipelines or storage tanks. It involves measurements of electrical potentials, current flow, and other relevant parameters to ensure that adequate protection is being provided to prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of the structure. The survey results help in identifying any issues or areas that may require maintenance or improvements in the cathodic protection system.
How in industries do they stop metals corroding?
Good design Proper material selection coatings including metal coatings and paints Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection Anodic Protection Combinations - especially use of CP and coatings
Metal used in cathodic protection ions?
aluminum, platinum, carbon & silicon
How do electrons flow in cathodic protection?
In cathodic protection systems, electrons flow from a more active metal (anode) through an external circuit to the structure being protected (cathode), providing a protective current that helps prevent corrosion. This flow of electrons results in the cathodic polarization of the structure, thereby reducing the likelihood of corrosion.
What are the methods to protect iron from rusting?
Cathodic protection - attach a piece of zinc Cathodic protection - pass electric current through it - take care this is an industrial method only for protecting pipelines etc. Galvanizing Painting Wax/oil/grease
What has the author Marshall Edward Parker written?
Marshall Edward Parker has written: 'Pipe line corrosion and cathodic protection'
What is the definition of pipe-to-soil potential?
Pipe-to-soil potential is the voltage difference between a buried pipeline or structure and the surrounding soil. It is measured as a way to monitor the level of protection provided by a cathodic protection system, which is designed to prevent corrosion on the pipeline. A more negative (cathodic) potential indicates better protection against corrosion.
