    The document describes an experiment using a glass flower vase filled with water placed in a larger plastic container to simulate areas where pipeline coating has disbonded from the metal. Each disbonded area would have a different electromotive force, similar to the vase having a different water level. While this provides a model, real cathodic protection measurements cannot assess individual areas and can only measure overall electrical potentials.

    Cathodic Protection Training Course


    The glass flower vase with the water is placed in the large plastic container.

    It is in an empty section and on the level, in relation to the bottom of the large
    container.
    This could be likened to three places where the coating on a pipeline has
    'disbonded' from the metal.

    Each has included some material that results in each 'blister' having a different
    electromotive force at its anodic interface.
    The coating is not penetrated and there is not conductive path to allow corrosion
    to proceed.
    We cannot gather any of this information in the case of a real cathodic protection
    as we can only measure between to electrical potentials that themselves can be
    at any level in the system.
