19、 Foreword This document (EN 16299:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 219 “Cathodic protection”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

20、test by October 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
21、 such patent rights.

DIN EN 16299:2013-06 EN 16299:2013 (E) 5 Introduction It is import
23、ant to maintain the integrity of above ground storage 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
24、study including the use of cathodic protection methods 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 wi
25、th this standard. The pre-requisites for the cathodic 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
26、risks of external surfaces of tank bottoms may be 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 a
27、s detailed in the present standard, cathodic protection 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-electroly
28、te potential is lowered to values where corrosion 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. DIN
29、 EN 16299:2013-06 EN 16299:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European 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 foun
30、dations. This European Standard specifies the requirements 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 conc
31、rete above ground storage tanks for which EN ISO 12696 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
32、waters is addressed in EN 12499. NOTE 4 Cathodic protection 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.

49、 9 6 Corrosion risks and their prevention by cathodic protection 6.1 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 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 me
