QUESTION
1. Video 1: What material is the water pipe
made of?
2. Video 1: What are the two methods used
for corrosion control?
3. Video 1: What form of corrosion is seen in
the exposed pipe?
4. Video 1: What material is the anode made
of?
5. Video 1: How many years does the tube life
extend when using cathodic protection?
6. Video 2: What are the three factors
considered important to prevent corrosion in
pipes?
7. Video 2: What is the FBE coating?
ANSWER
Up to 300 Characters
The materials used to manufacturing of line
pipes is steel and ductile iron
The way for corrosion control are: protective
coating and cathodic protection
The exposed pipe has underwent a crack
localized corrosion damage
The material used to the anode is magnesium
The pipe´s life is extended by up to 25 years
The three factors considered important to
prevent corrosion in pipes are: proper material
selection, construction techniques and
maintenance practices
FBE coating is a material or formulation with
proven effectiveness as a corrosion resistant

8. Video 2: What is the name of cathodic
protection with additional current application?
(Hint: The full name is not mentioned in the
video, it is on the class slides)
9. Video 3: What material is the sacrificial
anode mounted on a steel hull ship made of?
10. Video 3: What voltage can be applied to
the printed current protection on a ship?
11. Video 4: In the passivation of stainless
steel, what rust is formed on the material
surface?
12. Video 4: What is understood by
passivation?
13. Video 5: What are the three types of rust
that form on steel
14. Video 5: What is the most harmful oxide of
the three types of oxide?
15. Video 5: How the coating shown helps
prevent corrosion and what is it made of?
costing
Cathodic protection by printed or forced
current
The material of sacrificial anode is zinc
0,85 Volts can be applied
A chromium oxide layer
It is a thin film of rust produced by the same
material on the surface. Due to that the
materials is isolated by this film and avoid the
demage by corrosion.
Iron oxide, iron hydroxide and iron
oxihydroxide
The most harmful oxide is the iron
oxihydroxide
It consists mostly of aran oxihydroxide and
does not allow iron to come into contact with
air.
