Assumptions
The following assumptions are made in the analysis:
Anode surface temperature is assumed to be the same as the
operating temperature of the pipeline
The anode is assumed to be at the end of its lifetime when the
anode material is consumed up to the steel strap
reinforcement
Anode length remains constant throughout its design life

Analysis Methodology
The procedures typically adopted for CP design calculation
are presented below:
1.Current Demand
In order to determine the amount of anode required for the
cathodic protection system, it is necessary to calculate the
current demand, Ic, to achieve polarisation during the
design life of the system as follows:
Ic

The current demand for mean and final life of the anode is determined
by the above equation.
