Q » What is stray current corrosion in buried pipelines?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Stray current corrosion in buried pipelines occurs when unintended electrical currents flow through the pipeline, often due to nearby electrical sources like railways or power lines. These currents can accelerate the corrosion process by disrupting the natural electrochemical balance, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential pipeline failures. Proper insulation, grounding, and cathodic protection are essential to mitigate these effects and ensure pipeline integrity.
