This standard specifies the structures, electrolytes, metals, surfaces which can be protected against corrosion by application of internal cathodic protection - specifies the conditions necessary to the application of internal cathodic protection - give guidances on realisation and operation of an efficient cathodic protection system of specific structures, namely - Domestic water heaters, appliances for heating and storage, feed tank with variable level, filtering tanks, internal surface of wells casing, internal surface of pipes, tubular heat exchangers.

Kathodischer Korrosionsschutz für die Innenflächen von metallischen Anlagen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anlagen, die Metalle und Oberflächen, die durch Anwenden des inneren kathodischen Schutzes gegen Korrosion geschützt werden können, die Elektrolytlösungen und die für einen kathodischen Innenschutz erforderlichen Bedingungen fest. Ferner gibt sie Anleitungen für die Installation und für den Betrieb eines wirksamen kathodischen Schutzsystems.
Diese Norm betrifft die Anwendung des inneren kathodischen Schutzes von häuslichen Wassererwärmern, Warm- und Kaltwasserbehältern, Wasserzirkulationsleitungen, Kondensatoren, Wärmetauschern sowie ganz allgemein Anlagen, die eine Elektrolytlösung enthalten, so dass der kathodische Schutz technisch möglich ist. Diese Norm gilt für metallische Anlagen, die gespeichertes oder fließendes Wasser enthalten, das stagnierend oder ausgetauscht sowie kalt oder warm sein kann. Sie gilt für Trinkwasser oder Betriebswässer und selbst für wässrige Suspension.
ANMERKUNG   Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Elektrolytlösungen eine Leitfähigkeit über 10-3 S m-1 und einen pH Wert über 4,5 haben. Falls der pH-Wert unter 5,5 oder die Leitfähigkeit unter 10-2 S m-1 sinkt, sollten 5.4 und 6.9.2.2 beachtet werden.
Diese Norm gilt für metallische Anlagen, die aus einem Werkstoff oder zusammen mit weiteren Werkstoffen hergestellt sind. Diese Werkstoffe sind:
   Eisen und niedriglegierte Stähle;
   schmelztauchverzinkter Stahl;
   Kupfer und Kupferlegierungen;
   Blei;
   Zinn;
   nichtrostende Stähle;
   Aluminium und Zink;
   Titan.
Diese Norm gilt sowohl für unbeschichtete Metalle als auch für solche, die bereits mit nieder- oder hochohmigen Beschichtungen versehen sind.

Protection cathodique interne des structures métalliques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les structures, les métaux et les surfaces susceptibles d'être protégés contre la corrosion par l'application d'une protection cathodique interne, ainsi que les solutions d'électrolytes et les conditions nécessaires pour l'application d'une protection cathodique interne, et donne des indications sur l'application et le fonctionnement d'un système de protection cathodique interne efficace.
La présente norme s'applique à la protection cathodique interne des chauffe-eau domestiques, des réservoirs d'eau chaude et d'eau froide, des canalisations de circulation d'eau, des condensateurs, des échangeurs de chaleur et, de façon générale, de toute structure contenant une solution d'électrolytes qu'il est possible, du point de vue technique, de protéger cathodiquement. La présente norme s'applique aux structures métalliques qui contiennent de l'eau accumulée ou en circulation, dormante ou renouvelée, chaude ou froide, de l'eau potable ou de l'eau industrielle, ainsi que des suspensions aqueuses.
NOTE   Les solutions d'électrolytes ont, par hypothèse, une conductivité > 10-3 Siemens m-1, et un pH > 4,5. Lorsque le pH < 5,5 ou lorsque la conductivité est < 10-2 Siemens m-1, voir 5.4 et 6.9.2.2.
La présente norme est applicable aux structures métalliques composées des métaux suivants, isolément ou en combinaison :
   fonte et acier faiblement allié ;
   acier galvanisé ;
   cuivre et alliages de cuivre ;
   plomb ;
   étain ;
   aciers inoxydables ;
   aluminium et zinc ;
   titane.
La présente norme est applicable à la protection cathodique des métaux non revêtus et des métaux munis de revêtements à résistance d'isolement faible ou élevée.
