AC corrosion is dependent on both AC and DC current densities, but only little is known about the effect of the chemical environment. In this paper, laboratory soil-box experiments are made for a better understanding of the effect of specific chemical constituents in soil on corrosion in relation to the AC and DC current densities. A field investigation of AC corrosion on an operational pipeline where AC interference and CP levels could be controlled, is presented. Soil analysis from the field study is discussed in relation to the laboratory experiments.

Distinction between AC corrosion caused by anodic depolarization of the steel or by excessive cathodic protection and alkalization is made and discussed in relation to the current density criteria in industry standards.

Keywords: AC corrosion, AC interference, cathodic protection, soil, pH, pipeline.

Challenges associated with coordinating the modelling, design, and installation of an alternating current interference and mitigation systems. The project consisted of a 65 kilometer long double circuit 500 kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission in a heavily congested right-of-way corridor with more than 80 pipelines.

The measurement of induced AC voltages along a pipeline is a primary indicator of electrical safety hazards and AC corrosion risks under operating powerlines. This paper addresses several fallacies, misconceptions and common errors related to the measurement of these AC induced voltages.

AC current density (rather than voltage alone) should always be the factor considered when assessing susceptibility to AC corrosion. Also presented are analyses used in assessing the metal loss features and the comparison of site-specific data.
