Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

This standard is equivalent to ISO13174:2012, which specifies the technical requirements for cathodic protection of steel port facilities in seawater environments. The key points include:

Protection scope: Applicable to submerged parts such as fixed/floating docks, mooring facilities, sheet piles, etc., not applicable to offshore platforms and ship protection.

Key technical parameters: The protection potential in aerobic environment needs to be ≤-0.80V (Ag/AgCl reference), the anaerobic environment needs to be ≤-0.90V, and the over-protection limit is -1.10V.


Comparison of Cathodic Protection System Designs

System Type Sacrificial Anode Impressed Current
Applicable Scenarios Conventional Port Facilities High Current Demand or Brackish Water Environment
Current Density 80-200mA/m² 10-50% Margin Needs to be Added
Maintenance Requirements Low Regular Monitoring Required

ALWC Special Treatments

For low water level accelerated corrosion (ALWC), the standard requires:

  • When microbial corrosion is detected, the initial current density needs to be increased to 170-200mA/m²
  • Polarization time may be extended, and margin needs to be reserved in the design
  • It is recommended to use mixed metal oxide anodes to cope with high current requirements

Implementation recommendations

Coating joint protection: The coating damage coefficient is designed at 1%-2% (initial), and the annual degradation rate (0.5%-3%) needs to be considered.

Electrical continuity verification: All steel structures must ensure a connection resistance of ≤0.1Ω, and welding connection is recommended.

Commissioning points: Potential measurement must be completed within 3 months after installation, and monitoring points should be arranged at three elevations in the tidal range area.
