Cathodic Protection Calculation of No of Magnesium Anodes Design Data

This document provides calculations to determine the number of magnesium anodes needed to provide cathodic protection for an underground steel tank over a 5-year design life. Given the tank's diameter, height, design life, anode weight, tank radius, anode capacity, and current densities for protecting steel in different materials, the calculations determine that 2.78 or rounded up to 3 magnesium anodes would be needed.
