Abstract
Additional information is given to supplement an earlier paper dealing with the installation and economic aspects of a 25 rectifier system used to provide solid protection along 350 miles of bare 8-inch pipe in ultra-high resistivity soil. Four basic types of leaks are discussed.
Analysis of the leak record is made from data obtained at each leak location in an effort to properly allocate those leaks due to inadequacy of the criterion as opposed to leaks resulting from rectifier down-time or other unusual causes. A total of 10 leaks which occurred during the first five years of operation are considered.
A summary is given of the savings to be expected from use of this method of design over other criteria as well as precautions to be taken in its use. 4.5.3
