The objectives of this book are to give technical information about anodic pro- tection, explain how economic analyses are made to determine whether or not it should be used, and describe some of the applications and equipment. Lim- itations of the technique will be pointed out. Technological changes that have resulted in higher temperatures, pres- sures, and velocities increase corrosion rates and markedly influence materials selection and design decisions. Continuous cycle systems impose increased demands on system reliability. New processes require more sophisticated equipment made of...
