Cathodic Protection Training Course


Module 8

Ground beds and resistivities



  • Ground resistivities

    The effect of ground resistivity on cathodic protection systems is misunderstood resulting in poor design and inacccurate analysis of acquired data.

  • Resistivity measurements

    There are many sorts of surveys used to determine the resitivity of the ground through which pipelines pass.

  • Resistivity effects on corrosion.

    There are many effects of ground resistivity on corrosion.

  • Spread of protective currents.

    The resistivity of the ground affects the spread of protective currents.

  • The effects of resistance on monitoring measurements.

    These effects are clear if you have studied Module 01.

  • Groundbed siting

    Stes for groundbeds requires an in depth understanding of all aspects of cathodic protection

  • Practical work with instruments being compiled.

    Several field trips are required to practice chosing ideal sites for cathodic protection ground beds.

  • On-line real time discussion.
