Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline protection, in particular to a cathode protection device for a buried pipeline. Background Art
[0002] In the oil and gas gathering and transportation industry, underground pipeline transportation is a common method. Underground pipelines are generally placed underground by landfill. They are eroded by liquids underground, and corrosion often occurs on the outside of the pipe wall. At the same time, the fluid in the pipeline will also corrode the pipeline from the inside.
[0003] The combined application of anti-corrosion coating and cathodic protection is currently the most commonly used corrosion control measure for buried pipelines and underground metal structures. Anti-corrosion coating protection refers to the coating of anti-corrosion coating on buried pipelines, equipment and special-shaped parts. Since the anti-corrosion coating usually needs to be made and painted on site, the quality is difficult to reach the quality of prefabricated anti-corrosion coating. There are many coating defects, and improper selection can easily lead to early failure. The so-called cathodic protection technology is to pass a sufficient amount of DC cathode current to the protected underground metal structure to cathodically polarize the outer surface of the steel pipeline to reduce the corrosion potential of the steel pipeline in the soil, reduce the corrosion current or even approach zero, and thus achieve a corrosion control method to prevent the corrosion of the metal structure, thereby requiring the use of a pipeline cathodic protection device.
[0004] Existing pipeline cathodic protection devices need to be buried underground. During the burial process, the protection device is not in firm contact with the pipeline, resulting in poor protection effect. At the same time, the fixing structure on the pipeline is too complicated, making installation and disassembly very inconvenient during replacement or inspection of buried pipelines.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art are in urgent need of developing a cathodic protection device for buried pipelines. Utility Model Content
