Corrosionpedia Explains Line Current

The line current voltage and the composite material of a pipeline can jointly be used to determine the degree of corrosion present in a pipeline. A larger current indicates a greater flow of electrons and more corrosion depending on the measured relative voltage and the documented reactivity profile of the pipeline's metal.
