The cost due to corrosion Damage have estimated to be 3-4 % of their gross national product which significantly Countries problem around the world.

In this study, a novel carbon steel pipe protection based on radial basis function neural network RBFNN was proposed.

The RBFNN used to predict the minimum current density required in impressed current cathodic protection to protect low carbon steel pipe.

Learning data was performed by using a 25 samples test with different concentration C %, temperature T, distance D and pH.

The RBFNN model has four input nodes representing the (concentration C %, temperature T, distance D and pH), eight nodes at hidden layer and one output node representing the min.

current density.

Generalization test used 5 data samples taken from the experimental results other than those data samples used in the learning process to check the performance of the neural network on these data.

In addition, the experimental results indicate that proposed system can be used successfully to obtain minimum cathodic protection current density to protect low carbon steel pipes.
