The development of design levels of track-to-earth resistance has been diluted and misunderstood. This paper will describe development of track-to-earth resistance levels, examples of differences in systems and extensions, describe the latest technologies and discuss acceptance testing.
The development of design levels of track-to-earth resistance has been diluted and misunderstood since its inception as an industry standard requirement for dc electrified transit systems. This paper will describe the general development of track-to-earth resistance levels, present examples of differences from system to system and extension to extension, describe the latest technologies for track isolation and anticipated track-to-earth resistance levels and discuss post construction acceptance testing of track-to-earth resistance.
Keywords: dc powered transit, track-to-earth resistance, stray current, traction power model, stray current control, track isolation, transit design, transit construction, light rail, heavy rail.
Magnesium anodes are provided to the corrosion control industry by a number of domestic and international manufacturers and distributors. Anode composition is commonly the only criterion used for quality control by the end users. Many of the anodes, however, have been shown to meet the compositional and potential specifications, and yet have had measured efficiencies as low as 7%.

A close-interval potential (CIP) data survey on ~154 km of Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. This aim was to generate corrosion data to determine weak sections of the pipelines/flowlines and, to ascertain the effectiveness of the CP system and integrity of the Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. The pipeline networks were found safe for continued operation under its present condition.
The effect of seasonal changes on the protection of pipelines in high-resistivity soil. The nature and magnitude of the seasonal fluctuations. Corrosion rates are low even when compliance with a given CP criterion cannot be demonstrated.
