BS EN 12473:2014EN 12473:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard covers the general principles of cath

23、odic protection when applied in seawater, brackish waters and marine mud. It is intended to be an introduction, to provide a link between the theoretical aspects and the practical applications, and to constitute a support to the other European Standards devoted to cathodic protection of steel struct

24、ures in seawater. This European Standard specifies the criteria required for cathodic protection. It provides recommendations and information on reference electrodes, design considerations and prevention of the secondary effects of cathodic protection. The practical applications of cathodic protecti

25、on in seawater are covered by the following standards: EN 12495, Cathodic protection for fixed steel offshore structures; EN ISO 13174, Cathodic protection of harbour installations (ISO 13174); EN 12496, Galvanic anodes for cathodic protection in seawater and saline mud; EN 13173, Cathodic protectio
