The quality of the cathodic protection service is determined differently depending on the country or according to internal company specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, any underground metal structure must comply <\/strong>with international standards<\/strong> that require the use of the electric potential between the metal structure and the ground as a criterion for defining its protection, i.e., the engineering acceptability of the corrosion rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, cathodic protection is implemented in almost all underground structures<\/strong>, especially those in which are piped potentially dangerous or expensive fluids, such as oil and natural gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To provide its customers with continuous regulatory updates, Pietro Fiorentini attends both the national UNI and international EN and ISO technical working tables<\/strong> and the APCE\u2019s Technical and Training Committees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to current international regulations, the measurement methods <\/strong>are identified according to the acquisition technique: EON<\/sub><\/strong> in the case of measurements for switched-on systems, used to generally assess the electrical parameters of the cathodic protection, EOFF<\/sub><\/strong> in the case of the technique for switched-off systems, which can also be obtained with the new, latest-generation acquisition units featuring an integrated cyclic switch<\/strong> in combination with electrodes with anodes that simulate the electro-chemical characteristics and behaviour of the bare pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Italian regulations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In Italy<\/strong>, the sector is regulated by APCE<\/strong>, the Association for Protection from Electrolytic Corrosion recognized<\/strong> by ARERA<\/strong>, the independent administrative authority that regulates energy, grids and the environment, as the competent technical body for the definition of guidelines<\/strong> in the field of cathodic protection for metal pipelines used for distribution, transport and flow lines connecting natural gas storage plants. The quality of service is assessed using the KT algorithm<\/strong>, which assigns a score to each electrical system: annual compliance is only achieved if it is greater than or equal to 60 points out of a maximum of 100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
