    This document contains specifications for cathodic protection of an underground storage tank, including the tank diameter, surface area, coating breakdown factor, current density, design life, and calculations to determine the required mass of zinc, magnesium, and aluminum anodes needed to provide cathodic protection for the specified design life. Mass requirements are calculated based on the total current demand, anode utilization factor, anode efficiency, and anode consumption rate for each type of anode material.
