the liquids and temperature of the liquids. Exterior of buried tanks should
be coated with a protective coating such as fiberglass resins or coal tar
epoxy.
Cathodic protection is recommended to reduce or prevent corrosion
of underground metallic structures or pipe. By using sacrificial anodes or
impressing potentials on the metallic structures or pipe makes them cathodic
throughout with respect to the surrounding soil (electrolyte). See
MIL-HDBK-1004/10.
Surroundings may be changed by any of the

Change of Environment.
following methods:
a)
Water treatment; Refer to para.7.1.1
b)
Deaeration; Refer to Table 17
c) Inhibitors. These substances retard corrosion by increasing
the polarization rate at either an anode or cathode metal or both. They can
also build up electrical resistance films in the conduction paths between
anodes and cathodes. Refer to Table 24 for inorganic corrosion inhibitors.
Sample organic inhibitors are glucosates, amines, phenyl-hydrazines, and
similar items.
d) Soil alteration. Replace corrosive soils with sand or selected
soils, or change its characteristics by adequate drainage.
