Abstract
Gas pipelines are the core facilities in the gas facilities and the most pipelines are buried underground and are exposed to the risk of corrosion caused by the soil characteristics and the environmental impact. The anti-corrosion potential and the corrosion status of the underground pipelines are measured periodically in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. A study on the cathodic protection measurement system was carried out in order to solve the problems of the conventional measurement system. This paper describes the survey on the standards and the specifications of the cathodic protection measurement and the the reference electrode to meet the relevant regulations, and the development of the measuring circuit and the data transmission module to build the cathodic protection measurement system. This study verified the field applicability through the testing of the developed prototype and investigated on the problems of the previous studies and the future research and development direction.
