BS EN 16299:2013EN 16299:2013 (E) 5 Introduction It is important to maintain the integrity of above ground st
22、orage steel tanks (AST) for environmental and economical reasons. This European Standard applies only for external corrosion prevention, which is independent of internal corrosion issues. During the design of any new tank, a complete corrosion control study including the use of cathodic protection m
23、ethods should be performed for preventing external corrosion of the surfaces in contact with soil, cushion or foundations. When cathodic protection is adopted, it is an effective method if designed, implemented, operated and maintained in accordance with this standard. The pre-requisites for the cat
24、hodic protection should be taken into account from the basic design. In case cathodic protection is not adopted, a documented technical justification on the equivalent effectiveness of alternative methods should be given. For existing tanks, corrosion risks of external surfaces of tank bottoms may b
25、e important and possibly cause leaks, depending on the nature of soil, cushion, foundations, design of tank, and other equipment electrically connected to it such as an earthing system. Depending on the design and environmental conditions of the tank as detailed in the present standard, cathodic pro
26、tection may be effective to mitigate corrosion when designed, implemented, operated and maintained in accordance with this standard. Cathodic protection is aimed at supplying a direct current (d.c.) to the steel surface such that the steel-to-electrolyte potential is lowered to values where corrosio
27、n becomes insignificant. Cathodic protection of above ground storage steel tanks is normally used in combination with a compatible protective coating system to protect the external surfaces of above ground storage steel tank bottoms from corrosion. BS EN 16299:2013EN 16299:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This Eu
28、ropean Standard defines the conditions necessary for an effective application of the cathodic protection method to mitigate corrosive attacks on the external surfaces of above ground storage steel tank bottoms in contact with soil, cushion or foundations. This European Standard specifies the require
29、ments for the design, implementation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of such a cathodic protection system. This European Standard applies both for new and existing tanks. NOTE 1 This European Standard is not applicable to reinforced concrete above ground storage tanks for which EN ISO 1269
30、6 applies. NOTE 2 Detailed information concerning measurement techniques of cathodic protection given in EN 13509 are referred to in the present standard. NOTE 3 Cathodic protection of internal surfaces of above ground storage steel tanks storing waters is addressed in EN 12499. NOTE 4 Cathodic prot
31、ection of external surfaces of buried tanks is addressed in EN 13636. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

48、 General The corrosion rate of a metal in soil or water is a function of the potential, E, of the material in its surrounding electrolytic environment. The corrosion rate decreases as the potential is shifted in the more negative direction. This negative potential shift is achieved by feeding direct
49、 current from anodes via the soil or water to the metal surface of the structure to be protected. In the case of coated structures, the current mainly flows to the metal surface at coating pinholes and holidays. The protection current can be provided by impressed current systems or galvanic anodes. The corrosion risks and the need and feasibility of cathodic protection for a given above ground storage tank are directly linked to the mechanical design of the storage tank bottoms and to its environment. The cushion material in contact with t
