| Description |
Development of a model or models
that will provide criteria for cathodic protection retrofits for offshore pipelines. The
project would be based on recently developed relationships between cathodic protection
potential and electric current density for sacrificially protected steel in sea water. The
results could serve as a recommended practice of specification. |
| Progress |
A workshop was held in conjunction with project #243
in Galveston, TX on Feb 7-10, 1999. Scope was modified to include not
only a method for accurate design of pipeline CP retrofits but also new builds.This
project was completed August 2001. Work will continue with industry direction for the
development of a field document for engineering use. |
