Features: Corrosion control of buried metal pipelines, primarily focusing on the combined protection method of the coating layer and cathodic protection. This book is dedicated to pipeline corrosion control. It briefly explains the principles of metal corrosion and cathodic protection; emphasizes the application of pipeline coatings, cathodic protection criteria, investigation methods and evaluation techniques before cathodic protection implementation, instrument preparation, earthing bed design, forced current and sacrificial anode cathodic protection design and application, as well as the construction and maintenance of pipeline coatings and cathodic protection. It specifically introduces the impact of stray current corrosion and microbiological corrosion on pipelines, illustrating the economic aspects of pipeline corrosion control through case studies. This book is one of the most popular publications by the American Society for Corrosion Engineers (). It is highly practical not only for pipelines but also for cathodic protection of other buried facilities, making it suitable for construction and corrosion engineering professionals, as well as students and faculty in related fields.
