Considerations For Choosing A Remote Monitoring System For Cathodic Protection Rectifiers

 

ABSTRACT

When choosing a remote monitoring system for your cathodic protection rectifiers there are many things to consider such as: do you want the ability to poll and control your rectifiers’ output or are you looking for an inexpensive system to satisfy code requirements? Do you have an existing radio network or will you have to rely on an outside service provider? These are only some of the many questions that require answers before a decision ….  Read Paper

 

 

Quality Control of Cathodic Protection Field Records

           

ABSTRACT

Field data is required to document the field tests and to support a conclusion as to the operation of the cathodic protection (CP) system, that is, to confirm if a criterion has been met.  Later it can be used as historical data to support an External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) or in the event of an incident it may become evidence in court that is available to all parties….  Read Paper

 

 

“Benefits of Applying Polarization Criterion”

Case Histories

 

ABSTRACT

Many types of surveys are conducted over pipelines to determine the status of cathodic protection to a polarized potential (-850 mV_CSE) criterion and sub-criterion sections are then identified.  One option to meet criterion is to increase the cathodic protection current to the sub-criterion section until the polarized potential criterion is met. There are times however ….  Read Paper
