RESISTIVITY
The soils are classified in UFC Cathodic Protection (UFC 3-570-02A) as per their
corrosivity with respect to their electrical resistivities. The measured values
during the site survey will be evaluated in accordance with the Table-1 below:
Table 2: Corrosivity of soils on steel based on soil resistivity
Soil Resistivity (Ohm x cm)
Corrosivity of soil
0 to 2000
2000 to 10000
10000 to 30000
Above 30000
Soil resistivity is measured by using earth resistivity tester using Wenner Four
Pin Method. Electrode distanced shall be taken as 1.5 m and 3m. Soil resistivity
measurements were carried out along the line with a Chauvin Arnoux CA 6462
tool.
Average soil resistivity is to be calculated by using arithmetic average method.
Av= [ sum ( min + max)] /(Number of measuring -1)
Average soil resistivity is taken into account 2500 ohm-centimeters. Average
resistivity of the soil is at Corrosive level and this is appropriate for designing
Galvanic Cathodic Protection.
CURRENT REQUIREMENT
The current required for cathodic protection depends upon the metal being
protected and the environment. To achieve these protective potentials, current
must flow from the anode to the structure being protected. The amount of
current required to protect a given structure is proportional to the area of the
structure that is exposed to the electrolyte.
Therefore, current requirements are usually given as current densities in units of
amperes or milliamperes (0.001 amperes) per square meter (foot) of exposed
surface. Coatings are dielectric in nature, and to some degree, isolate the
structure from the electrolyte. For coated structures, the amount of current
required is much lower than for bare structures, as only those areas where the
coating has been damaged or has deteriorated require or will receive current.
The coating efficiency is the percent of the structure that is effectively isolated
from the electrolyte. Efficiencies of coatings can vary greatly due to the type of
coating, quality of surface preparation, quality of application, structure handling,
structure installation, backfill techniques, and backfill material used. Coatings
efficiencies normally range from about 80 percent up to 99.7 percent. Current
requirements for coated structures are best determined by actual testing after

the structure is installed. The current densities required for cathodic protection
depend on the metal being protected and the environment.
Typical values for the current densities required for cathodic protection of bare
steel structures are shown in Table 2. Typical values of the current densities
required for cathodic protection of coated steel structures are shown in Table 4
(UFC Operation and Maintenance: Cathodic Protection Systems, UFC 3-570-06).

breeze form number 100 sieve must be 5%.

amount of anodes must provide the lifespan mentioned above :
Number of anodes used in cathodic protection station, n = 20 unit
Current outlet from cathodic protection station, I = 6.891 A
Maximum drawn current from one anode, Ione = 2.3 A
Maximum drawn current from 20 anode, I one = 20 x 2.3 = 46 A > 5,57 A
(enough anode number)
