NACE TPC11

Underground corrosion-control coordinating (electrolysis) committees are composed of technical personnel who represent a variety of companies concerned with underground metallic cables, pipelines, or tanks. Many companies, such as those that operate direct current (DC) traction systems and which could introduce DC into the earth, possibly causing electrolytic corrosion on underground metallic structures, are also interested participants in the corrosion-control coordinating committee program.

Corrosion-control coordinating committees are not components of NACE International, nor does this publication contain required procedures for establishing and operating committees. Rather, it is intended to serve as a guide for existing committees and for the establishment of new committees where none exist.
