Two types of stray current which affect the cathodic protection of underground pipeline are discussed. One is the stray current by DC transit system and the other is that originated from the nearby cathodic protection system. The popular evaluation methods of the pipe-to-siol potential measurement was undertaken to evaluate the corrosion activity of pipeline. In case when the pipe was affected by the stray current, the measured pipe-to soil potential was significantly deviated from the mean value resulting in normal distribution. Analysis of such distribution pattern has revealed that the pipe under investigation was in the condition of insufficient protection (noble mean potential and high asymmetry coefficient) due to the considerable effect of stray current (high standard deviation value). It was also confirmed that the efficiency of drainage system was so low (<10%) due to the improper selection of drainage point. Simultaneous measurement of the magnitude and direction of the sheath current resulted in information about the place where stray current entered into pipe and escaped to soil. For the second case of stray current problem, it is shown that it has been caused by the combined interference from nearby CP system.

To investigate the corrosion state of subsea pipeline under cathodic protection, the surface potential distribution of the pipeline has to be measured exactly, but it’s very difficult to measure directly in actually. On base of boundary element methods (BEM), a 2D model about pipe’s cathodic protection under sea water was established, and then software to calculate the electric field distribution on pipe surface in even media (seawater) was developed by way of Matlab. The developed software was verified through an experiment in lab. The result shows that numerical calculation based on BEM by Matlab is feasible for cathodic protection electric field of pipe in marine environment.

Thin film coatings, such as fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings have become more popular as an underground pipeline coating especially on large diameter pipelines. This together with improved construction techniques has resulted in very effective coatings. They do however present additional considerations in a cathodic protection design. This paper deals with some issues that one must bear in mind related to cathodic protection when dealing with these superior coatings including a modification to empirical data in cathodic protection pre-designs, an upper polarized potential to prevent cathodic disbondment, inspection in horizontal directionally drilled crossings, an increased effect of telluric currents and an increased possibility of hazardous induced AC potentials. Examples are presented and discussed.

In this paper we consider main factors which have an influence on energy efficiency of the cathodic protection and analyze them. Cathodic protection is defined as the ratio of the electrical conductivity of electrolyte, which surrounds the underground (underwater) metal construction (pipeline) and its polarization resistance. The obtained results are correct first of all for the case of presence of modern qualitative insulation, which possess high dielectric properties and is made of, for example, polymers or its’ composition and is meant to be used for protection against electrochemical corrosion of the underground pipelines
