Name of technique

Cathodic protection


Use

  • Prevent corrosion
  • Complement protection given by coatings

Definition

  • A technique where an ionic current towards the structure from the electrolyte is used to counter the corrosion current flowing out of the structure.

CP criteria

  • CP potential of -850 mV vs. CSE
  • An instant off potential of at least -850 mV vs CSE
  • A minimum 100 mV polarization post instant off

CP measurement techniques

  • Soil resistivity
  • CIPS
  • DCVG
  • Line current

Factors affecting CP requirements

  • pH
  • velocity
  • ionic type
  • ionic concentration
  • temperature

Issues with CP

  • Stray current corrosion
  • Insufficient CP potential
  • Insufficient CP current
  • Electrical shorting

I will discuss all these with examples in this major course, where you can prepare for the basics for your certification course!

How many pages long should my research paper/thesis be?

By
In this post, I would like to address an issue that is encountered by many undergraduates and postgraduates who are doing their very first research project. In my experience of designing and managing projects for undergraduates, interns, and postgraduates, I so often get asked two questions - 1) "How many pages should my research report/thesis/paper be?" 2)"How many references should I put at the end of the paper?" My answer is stop focusing on the number unless it is a strict requirement. Base your report on what you have learnt in the research work. Concentrate  on describing the amazing new things that you have got acquainted with. At each step of the project, you will come across a small question leading to reading of new references, and you will not need to find more just for the sake of it. Enjoy the process of writing something you found amazing. Check out the detailed video below! FREE RESEARCH CHECKLIST TEMPLATE AVAI...

Electrochemical testing - 1 - Potentiostat

By
explanation Potentiostat is an instrument to measure as well as apply potential and current. It includes a voltmeter and an ammeter. The voltmeter may also be called an electrometer. It is connected between the working and the reference electrode. Its main function is to measure the potential of the working electrode. It is a crucial component because all the experiments require an accurate measurement of the potential to determine their further potential or current variation.
