Piping Cathodic Protection

(OP)
Hello,

I am working in gas refinery. For under ground piping, we use cathodic protection. In gas refineries, There are lot of pipes beside each other and I want to khnow that the short distance between pipes(for example, 5cm) can be affect the cathodic protection?

RE: Piping Cathodic Protection

Yes.

Google "stray current corrosion" and you will find some the things that need to be considered in situations such as this.

RE: Piping Cathodic Protection

Yes, there can be an effect, that's why the pipes are normally bonded together to equalise the potentials - consult NACE SP0169.
