Protection of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Buried stationary copper-sulfate reference electrodes used on underground steel pipelines of the Russian Federation can reasonably be replaced by portable ones to estimate the polarization potential from the total pipe–ground potential and the current flowing between the pipe and an electrode-imitator simulating a defect in the pipe insulation coating.
