Abstract: Paper provides comparative analysis of basic regulations governing design of systems of cathodic protection of underground metal structures against corrosion based on both Russian and international materials. The following basic parameters for evaluation of cathodic protection system performance are accepted: "need for applying cathodic protection systems", "values characterizing security of underground metal structures against corrosion in the presence of electrochemical protection", "density of protective current" and "magnitude of protective current". Carried out analysis identified the need to improve Russian system of cathodic protection systems design for all listed characteristics and above all in the direction of reducing the quantities of protective current and its density.

Current problem of monitoring parameters of the electrochemical protection of gas pipelines is to clarify parameters of long-acting comparison electrodes on frozen soils. The problem is the violation of the electrolytic contact between the long-acting reference electrode and the built-in potential sensor during freezing of the surrounding soil, which leads to a distortion of the data obtained or the impossibility of taking them. The article describes the study of the main operational parameters of long-acting comparison electrodes in permafrost, freezing and thawing soils.

The article discusses the problem of corrosion that causes significant damage to the ship structures and mechanisms, reducing their service life. The experience of using different electrodes to control the electrochemical protection systems of steel hulls of auxiliary vessels is presented. The results of corrosion tests of PM-15 ship hull are presented, which included measurements of the hull potential at a given control point, using an electrical measuring device and two control electrodes. As the first electrode used an electric carbon product for electric machines. A ship hull steel plate was used as the second electrode. The investigated vessel stayed at the pier for a long time. Corrosion tests were carried out in the period within 10.10.2019-16.10.2019. The ship hull potential at the control point was controlled using 50 parallel measurements. Parallel measurements were performed with a specified time interval of 5 sec. between them. A qualified operator has been trained to perform corrosion studies. The accuracy of the measurements was determined on the basis of current regulatory documents. The test results show that the reliability of the control of electrochemical protection systems of the hull primarily depends on the type of electrode used. It has been demonstrated that the metrological characteristics of the results of control measurements depend on the period of using a steel plate. The results of scientific research help to select the right elements of the system of monitoring the effectiveness of electrochemical protection of the ships and ship crews.
