Abstract: In certain circumstances buried pipelines may suffer varying amounts of metal loss as the result of galvanic corrosion. These losses can occur in areas where the coating and/or cathodic protection system fails to function as intended or where these protective devices are absent. When corroded areas are revealed, the question regarding whether or not to replace or repair the pipe arises. A given corroded region may or may not significantly affect the serviceability of the pipe, but without proven guidelines for separating corrosion which is severe from that which is not, a rational choice cannot be made. To provide such guidelines the work described herein was undertaken. From this work an effective corrosion criterion has evolved.
