SYNOPSIS

Corrosion has been a concern in many industries. Corrosion can cause unexpected failures of structures and can result in huge losses in life, production as well as environmental. It has been reported that corrosion can, on average, causing around 3% of GNP in many industrialized countries.

Cathodic protection (CP) is one of few most widely applied corrosion protection methods. It has been successfully used to overcome corrosion and extension of service life of structures. The course is aimed to provide the understanding of principle of CP, techniques of CP survey and measurements and interpretation of CP survey data.

The course will introduce you to the following topics:

•    Principle of Cathodic Protection
•    Type of Cathodic Protection
•    Criteria of Cathodic Protection
•    Electrical Measurement for Cathodic Protection System
•    Special Cathodic Protection Survey Techniques
