Summary

• Gulf brings the definitive reference on cathodic protection to English-speaking readers with this fresh, all-new translation from the original German. This comprehensive handbook covers all aspects of cathodic protection in terms of both practice and theory.
• Corrosion prevention has an economically significant impact in many industrial applications, including buried pipelines, storage tanks, telecommunications, power, gas-pressurized cables, ships, and harbor installations. This handbook is a necessity for the study of corrosion reactions and the methods used to prevent metallic corrosion.
• This revised third edition updates the economic considerations in light of more stringent regulations and standards. It also examines the latest developments in electrochemical protection technology. New to this edition are strategies for measuring potential and data evaluation by computer. New chapters investigate the problem of high voltage and the cathodic protection of steel reinforcement in concrete.
