Technical Field

Background
With the large-scale construction of high-voltage/extra-high-voltage transmission lines and electrified railway systems, buried pipelines are interfered by stray currents, and pipeline corrosion and safety problems caused by the stray currents are also increasingly prominent.

Corrosion caused by stray current belongs to electrochemical corrosion, and the corrosion caused by the stray current can cause great loss of production materials (such as oil and gas pipelines) and also can cause production loss; therefore, by carrying out interference corrosion test on the pipeline, a certain basis can be provided for evaluating the influence and harm of the stray current on the pipeline.
