PART 1
GENERAL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: This specification covers a cathodic
protection system for metal surfaces against
corrosion by producing a continuous flow of direct
current from sacrificial anodes to the metal to be
protected. The anodes should be of sufficient size
and quantity to protect the buried metal items for a
specified number of years before replacement. The
U.S. Department of Transportation has issued
regulations requiring the application of cathodic
protection to natural gas pipelines, liquid natural
gas pipelines, petroleum pipelines, petroleum
products pipelines, liquid petroleum gas pipelines,
and petroleum storage facilities. Title 49 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 191, 192, 193 and
SECTION 13110A
