New cathodic protection (CP) criteria were developed based on AC and DC current densities measured using coupons. Using these criteria, the design of CP systems for newly constructed pipelines, paralleling high voltage AC power lines, and DC rail transit systems, was successfully performed.
The risks of AC corrosion and overprotection are increasing on cathodically protected buried steel pipelines, due to the increased cases of installing pipelines in proximity to high voltage AC power transmission lines and DC/AC powered rail transit systems. Based on field and laboratory studies as well as literature research, new cathodic protection (CP) criteria were developed based on AC and DC current densities measured using coupons, to eliminate those risks. Using these criteria, the design of CP systems for newly constructed pipelines, paralleling overhead high voltage AC power transmission lines, and in the proximity to DC powered rail transit systems, was successfully performed. Corrective measures to eliminate the risk of AC corrosion were taken by the use of distributed magnesium anodes and solid-state DC decoupling devices.
Key Words: Cathodic protection, AC, DC, overprotection
The corrosion profession, and the certified professionals who work in the industry, are committed to protecting people, assets, and the environment from the effects of corrosion. Those tasked with delivering the technical expertise to society must conduct their work with the knowledge and understanding of the ethical principles expected and required of those professionals.
The AMPP Code of Ethics is discussed in conjunction with relevant case studies and features real-life ethical violations of the AMPP attestations. Frameworks for making ethical decisions are also reviewed in this course along with the factors in the corrosion industry that can lead to unethical behavior.

Chloride induced corrosion is recognized as a significant disease in the nation's concrete infrastructure. This paper will provide an overview of the various corrosion mitigation techniques available and then focus on two innovative methods of using discrete anodes embedded within the concrete to provide corrosion protection to existing structures.
The objective of the research summarized in this paper was to define pipeline conditions where use of the 100-mV polarization criterion may be conducive to possible SCC problems. Paper Number 01592, presented at Corrosion/2001, summarized Part 1 of the research, in which the previous research results were analyzed. In this paper, the results of the laboratory testing are presented.
