ECDA for Unique Threats to Underground Pipelines

There are two primary objectives of the proposed research: The first objective of the proposed research is to complement External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) protocol by including assessment of threats posed by alternating current and excessive cathodic protection. The second objective of the proposed research is to establish the limitations to applicability to the ECDA indirect assessment techniques under stray current conditions.
