External corrosion in uninsulated pipelines is normally able to be prevented by cathodic protection (CP). Generally, external corrosion on buried pipelines cannot occur if CP current is getting onto the pipe. CP is an electrochemical means of corrosion control in which the oxidation reaction in a galvanic cell is concentrated at the anode and suppresses corrosion of the cathode (pipe) in the same cell. For instance, to make a pipeline a cathode, an anode is attached to it.
