  • Abstract
    A laboratory procedure that was used in developing electrical requirements pertinent to the cathodic protection of copper for a given situation is described. The work was prompted by severe corrosion of copper tubing used underground at a housing development. The soil environment was reported as having a low resistivity (about 200 Scm) and a high concentration of sulfate ion.
