(now updated to SP 0285 ) is the definitive standard for the external corrosion control of underground storage tank (UST) systems through cathodic protection.
NACE RP 0285 is a recommended practice (RP) developed by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) that outlines the procedures for preventing corrosion in carbon steel equipment and pipelines used in the oil and gas industry. This document provides a comprehensive framework for designing, fabricating, and maintaining equipment to minimize corrosion risks. nace rp 0285 pdf verified

: Both existing bare/coated tanks and new coated tanks. Outdated versions (superseded)
The primary goal of NACE RP0285 is to establish for using cathodic protection (CP) to mitigate corrosion on buried or partially buried metallic UST systems. It specifically addresses: Existing bare and coated mild steel tanks. New coated mild steel tanks.
