Isolating Kit requirement
Isolating Kit requirement
(OP)
Hi,
For a short length of buried pipeline, I will use a galvanic cathodic protection system by connecting a Mg anodes. Is it necessary to place an isolating kit on the extremity of the pipe or this is not required because it is not a ICCP system.

Is it necessary to place isolating kit between the buried and aerial parts?

IMO, the galvanic anode CP system is the current flowing through the electrolyte. The electrolyte of the buried pipeline is the soil. For the aboveground pipeline section, there is no cathodic protection since the current won't flow in the air. The isolation kit on the aboveground pipe won't be needed.
