Deperming has critical importance and can't be ignored. This process is different from the types of Degaussing as it nullifies permanent magnetic field. With time and lack of knowledge, the popularity of Deperming might have taken a toll, yet it is still useful and silently saves ships and submarines along ...

Principle : Under Normal operating conditions the degaussing system is automatically controlled. However, if required, it may also be manually controlled by accepting a few restrictions. The external field changes acting on a ship can only be compensated in an optimum manner by ...

Earlier, We had discussed about the theory behind the use of Impressed current cathodic protection. To refer the aforesaid post, visit https://electricalfundablog.com/blog/?p=731 . Lets discuss how the operation of Impressed current cathodic protection is carried out practically with ...

Impressed current cathodic protection is a method for ship’s hull protection. But, before discussing the Impressed current cathodic protection, its important to know the theory and history of cathodic protection. Cathodic Protection is a method of controlling corrosion and is based on electrochemical process. In ...

In this type of system, the ship’s hull is forced to become a cathode with respect to electrodes that are positive with respect to the ship’s hull. The electrodes used for this purpose are Zinc, Magnesium and Aluminium, However, in all the three, Zinc is very ...

Paints alone cannot accord complete protection to underwater hull. Areas above keel blocks are not always possible to protect by painting. Stern areas suffer erosion due to high turbulence caused by propeller. In these areas, chances of galvanic corrosion are more due to presence of bronze ...

If we go back in history, we can understand that the man has involved himself with works and resources of sea from a long time. He has been continuously improving and producing structures for using it in such harsh conditions. Earlier, structures were manufactured by using ...

The potency of a magnetic field is measured in terms of Gauss. And therefore, by definition, degausse means to reduce/eliminate the strength of the magnetic field. Degaussing coils are used to reduce the effect of Earth magnetic field on the ship’s magnetic field.

The magnetic field induced in the floating structure is dependent on the potency of the Earth’s magnetic field and the layout and direction of floating structure w.r.t. the Earth’s magnetic field. As discussed earlier, The ship’s induced magnetism is also a cause of the ship’s magnetic field ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is the cause of the ship’s permanent magnetic field. The process of constructing a ship in the Earth’s magnetic field generates an appreciable amount of permanent-magnetism in the floating metal structure. Whenever there is a movement of the floating metal structure, ...
