Excerpt from Electrolysis and Its Mitigation
In the effort to reduce or eliminate damage to pipe systems and other subsurface metallic structures due to stray earth currents from street railways, a great many methods have been proposed or tried. Some of these have been widely used with more or less benefit in many instances and apparent failure in others. The Bureau of Standards has been engaged for some time past in a general investigation of the subject of electrolysis and its mitiga tion, the work being carried on by special appropriations granted by Congress for the purpose.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly explores the problems and solutions of electrolysis, a complex process where electricity damages metal underground structures and leads to corrosion.

The author first gives an in-depth review of the problem, including comparisons with other countries and conclusions drawn from detailed case studies. Detailed examinations of the latest electrolysis mitigation strategies are presented, from the common practice of pipe drainage to the use of newer insulating joints. The author's discussion of both the advantages and disadvantages of each method ensures readers are well-informed before making expensive decisions. The author concludes with a comprehensive review of regulations regarding electrolysis mitigation, both in the US and other countries. This section includes practical principles that can be used to establish or enhance regulations, along with recommendations for both authorities and owners of underground utilities.
