The cathodic protection criteria for steel includes which of the following?
1. A potential of -850 mVCSE or more negative with current applied after IR drop is
considered
, 2. A polarized potential of -850 mVCSE or more negative
3. polarization of 100 mV or greater
4. A polarized potential of -790 mV AgAgCl or more negative - ANSWER-All of the
above
If a potential of -484 mV is measured with respect to a hydrogen electrode, what is a the
potential to copper-copper sulfate?
A. -168 mVCSE
B. -316 mVCSE
C. -800 mVCSE
D. -1116 mVCSE - ANSWER-C. -800 mVCSE
