RP0290 Cathodic Protection of Reinforcing Steel in Atmospherically
Exposed Structures
The standard specifies the 100 mV polarization criterion plus two other, more
complex criteria. These are 1) a potential at least as negative as that at the
base of the Tafel slope on an E-Log I curve and 2) a polarized potential more
negative than the statistical standard deviation of the native potentials.
Discussion of these two latter criteria is beyond the scope of this course.

• Metal-to-electrolyte potential chosen for a corrosion rate less than 0.01
mm/yr (0.39 mils/yr)
• Polarized potential more negative than –850 mV
CSE
• Limiting critical potential not more negative than –1,200 mV
CSE
• Anaerobic soils or sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) more negative than
–950 mV
CSE
• High soil resistivity
–750 mV
CSE
for 100 < ρ < 1,000 Ω-m
–650 mV
CSE
for ρ > 1,000 Ω-m
• Cathodic polarization of 100 mV
Precautions:
Avoid using 100 mV under conditions of high temperatures, SRB,
interference current, equalizing current, telluric current, mixed metals or
SCC conditions more positive than –850 mV

are the same as in RP0169.
