Design calculations in CP-Compass modules are in compliance with internationally accepted codes and standards such as AS 2239, AS 2832, BS EN ISO 12696, BS EN 12473, BS ISO 15589, DNV-RP-B401, DNV-RP-F103, NACE SP0169, and NACE SP0176.
 

Unparalleled Functionality: CP-Compass is not just for CP design and verification of CP design calculations by 3rd party contractors, it also gives you tools to assess the actual level of cathodic protection achieved (corrosion rate reduction factor) and to predict the corrosion rate of the structure WHEN CP IS ON!  Refer to the screen shot below for details.

Unmatched Usability: CP-Compass was designed with the user in mind. Experience the industry's first cross-platform and device-independent Cathodic Protection Design, Verification and Assessment application on your iPads, tablets, smart phones, notebooks and desktops, at any time and anywhere, in the office or in the field. No installation files to download, no browser plug-ins required, no USB dongles to carry around, and no license keys to transfer from one PC to another. CP-Compass simply works on any device running any OS. All you need is an internet browser.

Galvanic Anode CP Design and Verification

Unlike other cathodic protection design software developed by computer programmers that requires users to be trained as an application specialist in order to operate the software, WebCorr's CP-Compass software was developed by corrosion engineers for corrosion engineers with no learning curve required. With CP-Compass, designing a cathodic protection system or verifying a CP design by a 3rd party contractor is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Enter the design parameters (items in the above screen shot).

2. Choose the anode from the dropdown list.

3. The number of anode required, the the anode life, and system design life are automatically determined and verified.

The corrosion rate of the structure when CP is on can be calculated based on the polarization measurements, as shown in the screen shot below:

Figure 2 Assessing the degree of CP protection using CP-Compass software    

This unique function not found in any other CP design software allows users of CP-Compass to assess the degree of CP protection on an existing structure based on the CP survey results (the polarization data). It also allows the designer to set the CP criteria (e.g., 100 mV or 150 mV) to meet the corrosion rate target when CP is on.

The "Tools" menu in CP-Compass allows users to perform anode life calculations for assessment and retrofit of an existing CP system. For example, the remaining anode dimensions can be measured. The volume of the anode material can be calculated. The remaining anode weight can be determined from the anode material density. Using other anode material property such as anode efficiency and utilization factor as inputs, the remaining anode life can then be determined as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 CP-Compass software has tools for users to determine anode life for the assessment of an existing CP system.
