NACE SP0572

Abstract

<strong>Foreword</strong> <br>The purpose of this NACE International standard practice is to present procedures and practices for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of deep anode beds used for the control of external corrosion of underground or submerged metallic structures by impressed current cathodic protection (CP). It is intended to be used in conjunction with NACE SP0169 and SP0177. This standard is intended to be used by corrosion engineers, corrosion consultants, representatives from manufacturers, and others concerned with corrosion control of underground structures. <br>This standard was originally prepared in 1972 by NACE Task Group (TG) T-10A-7, a component of Unit Committee T-10A on Cathodic Protection, and was revised in 1985, 1995, and 2001, and reaffirmed in 2007 by Specific Technology Group (STG) 35 on Pipelines, Tanks, and Well Casings. This standard is issued by NACE under the auspices of STG 35.
