Protection of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Advantages of computably simulating cathodic protection systems for buried pipelines are discussed. Experience gained in the R&D of the object-orientated “Underground” model allowing to calculate the current and potential distribution over a branched pipeline system is presented. An example of applying the model to a real pipeline segment and thus improving the effectiveness of its cathodic protection, is given.
