Cathodic Protection Training Course


Module 13

Cathodic protection and corrosion currents






  • Current readings, shunts, multi-meters, magnetic filed meters, current direction detection systems.

  • Current paths and C.P. circuits.

  • Measurable and immeasurable electrolytic paths.

  • Current density.

  • Current requirements for protection.

  • Design, theoretical vs practical.

  • Demonstration on models and practice setting up and testing.

  • Field work to measure cathodic protection current.



  • Students will be required to provide a summary and examples.
    for on-line real-time discussion.
