Design Calculations

Length of line:- 2 Km
Diameter:

- 2 Inch

Total Surface Area: D x

x L = 0.0512 x 3.14 x 2000 = 318.78 M

Say Total surface area to be protected 320 M

Current Density Chosen= 0.25mA/m at 30 C OR 0.41mA/ m at 55 C
Total Current Required For 320m x 0.41mA = 0.131A
Considering Coating Deficiency as 5%
Final Current Requirement: = 16mA OR 0.016A
Ground Bed Resistance using Dwight's Formula for a single vertical anode = 5.1128
Based on Soli Resistivity = 1000-cm and choosing 15lbs Zinc anode, size 1.4"x1.4"x30"
package size 5"x38", 50lbs weight.
Driving Potential of the anode = 1.1-0.95 = 0.15 volts (assuming SRBs presence)
Design Life = 25 Years (15lbs Zinc anode consumption rate 0.27kg/Year)
