ABSTRACT
This criteria provides guidance necessary to maintain and operate cathodic protection
systems (CPS) at U.S. Military installations. It includes procedures for scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance, including inspection, troubleshooting and repair.
This criteria was originally developed for Air Force and Navy use. Exceptions and
additions applicable to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be incorporated as they
are received. See Appendix C for current applicable U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Criteria references.

Section 2: Principles of Operation
2.1 The Corrosion Process. Understanding the principles of cathodic protection systems is based
upon understanding the nature of the corrosion process. The corrosion of metals is an electrochemical
process. That is, it is an electrical circuit where the exchange of electrons (electricity) is conducted by
chemical reactions in part of the circuit. These chemical reactions occur at the surface of the metal
exposed to the electrolyte. Oxidation reactions (corrosion) occurs at the surface of the anode and
reduction reactions (protection) occurs at the surface of the cathode. Corrosion control systems which
relocate these oxidation reactions, by making the protected structure a cathode in a larger corrosion cell,
is called a cathodic protection system. The cathodic protection anodes are installed to become the
anode in this larger corrosion cell and provide the location for all oxidation reactions in the cell. To
describe the principles of operation of cathodic protection in detail, the exact nature of the corrosion
process must be described in detail.

2.7.2.1 High Silicon Cast Iron. Cast iron anodes are produced
in two alloy types with the principal addition of chromium,
developed in 1959, to improve the life in chloride soils and
water. Table 11 shows the metallurgical composition of the two
alloys. The principal reason for superior cast iron performance
is the formation of a silicon oxide (Si02) film that forms on the
anode surface, reducing the rate of oxidation, and retarding the
consumption rate. They have good electrical properties, and the
resistance of the alloy is 72 micro-ohms per cubic centimeter at
20 C. To be successful in soils, the anodes are backfilled with
metallurgical or petroleum coke breeze to reduce the anode
resistance and increase the effective anode surface area. Even
when the anodes are pre-packaged in coke breeze filled canisters,
filling the annular space between the canister and the soil with
additional coke breeze is a recommended practice. In seawater,
the anode will discharge current at very low voltages compared to
graphite rods and, therefore, does not require backfill.
Manufacturers of cast iron anodes developed cable-to-anode
connection procedures which distributors are required to follow.
Therefore, there has been a lower incidence of connection
failures, compared to graphite anodes. The anodes exhibit
superior conductivity and experience very little change in
resistance with time, unless the anode is damaged. The high
tensile strength of the metal is an asset in some circumstances,
except that their very low elongation makes them brittle and
subject to fracture from severe mechanical and thermal shock.

Section 3: Requirements
All structure-to-earth potentials must be potential drop (IR) free in accordance with RP0169 or
other appropriate NACE standard.
3.2.1 Ductile iron pipe requires CP, bonding of joints, and protective coatings in soil
resistivities below 10,000 ohm-centimeters at installation depth at any point along the pipeline.
3.2.2 When soil resistivities are above 10,000 ohm-centimeters at installation depth
along the entire pipeline, ductile or cast iron pipe will require bonded joints only.
3.2.5 Copper water service lines and brass valves must be dielectrically isolated from
ferrous pipe, or covered with a protective coating.
64
Draft UFC 3-570-06
01 July 2001
3.2.6 A metallic ferrous pipe passing through concrete must not be in contact with the
concrete. Provide a sleeve with waterproof dielectric insulation between the pipe and the sleeve.
Ferrous metal piping passing through a concrete thrust block must be insulated from the concrete
or cathodically protected.
3.2.7 The need for lightning and fault current protection at isolating devices
(dielectrically insulated flanges) should be considered. Where a combustible atmosphere may be
encountered, a sealed, weatherproof lightning arrester must be installed across each isolating
device. The arrester should be the gapless, self-healing, solid-state type (metal oxide varistor).
Cable connections from arresters to isolating devices should be short, direct, and of a size
suitable for short-term, high-current loading.
3.3 Systems Requiring Cathodic Protection. Ensure both CP and protective coatings
are provided for the following buried/submerged metallic structures, regardless of soil or water
corrosivity:
c) Oxygen piping.
65
Draft UFC 3-570-06
01 July 2001
3.3.1 New Piping Systems. Corrosion control by coating supplemented with cathodic
protection, or by some other proven method, should be provided in the initial design and
maintained during the service life of the piping system, unless investigations indicates that
corrosion control is not required. Consideration should be given to the construction of pipelines
in a manner that facilitates the use of in-line inspection tools.
3.3.2.2 Bare. Studies should be made to determine the extent and rate of corrosion on
existing bare piping systems. When these studies indicate that corrosion will affect the safe or
economic operation of the system, adequate corrosion control measures should be taken.
3.5 Field Tests. CP system design must be based upon specific field tests made at the
proposed construction site. Tests include (but are not limited to) soil corrosivity (resistivity) and
water chemistry/corrosivity (pH).

7.4.2 The coatings used in water storage tanks are the most
prone to this damage. This type of coating disbonds very easily
as compared to coatings used on underground structures. It is
not uncommon for elevated or ground level water storage tanks to
have the coatings bubbled or blown off from excessive cathodic
protection. It is essential on these tanks to maintain the level
of current at a safe level. The accuracy of permanent reference
electrodes used with automatic systems should be of concern when
performing the CP System Check. The ON potentials of coated
water storage tanks have many errors in the measurement
(paragraph 7.2.3). ON potential measurements over -1.10 volts DC
to a copper/copper sulfate reference electrode should be
suspected of coating damage and instant-OFF potentials taken.
Coating damage should be expected when the potential measurement
is over -1.50 volts DC to a copper/copper sulfate reference
electrode and instant-OFF potentials must be taken. The instant-
OFF potentials should not exceed -1.00 volt DC and must never
exceed -1.10 volts DC to a copper/copper sulfate reference
electrode.

7.7.3.1 The Pipe Horn, Model FDAC200, detects the signal from a
single phase rectifier. With the impressed current system on,
this locator can be used to follow the underground pipeline. If
a dielectric is shorted, and the current is sufficient, the
locator will follow the signal across the dielectric.
Consequently, if the signal is followed through the dielectric,
that dielectric is bad. If no signal can be followed, verify
with the insulated flange tester (paragraph 7.7.2).

the pipeline and the voltage drop across the length is measured
(paragraph 7.13.1). The resistance can be estimated if the size
of the pipeline and distance of the test span is accurately known
(paragraph 7.13.3). The line current can be determined by the
null ammeter method, using a Multi-Combination meter (paragraph
7.13.4). One other method for determining the direction and
magnitude of DC current flowing through a pipeline is to use a
clamp-on milliammeter. This method requires a very specialized
piece of equipment, sized to the pipeline, and an excavation or
access to the pipeline, for placement of the probe around the
pipeline.
