NACE International TM0497-2018-SG Measurement Techniques Related to Criteria for Cathodic Protection on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems 21231-SG

This standard test method provides descriptions of the measurement techniques and cautionary measures most commonly used on underground and submerged piping other than offshore piping to determine whether a specific criterion has been met at a test site. This standard contains instrumentation and general measurement guidelines. It includes methods for voltage drop considerations when structure-to-electro lyte potential measurements are made and provides guidance to minimize incorrect data from being collected and used. This standard is maintained by Task Group 020. Key words: cathodic protection, measurement, pipelines, tanks, underground corrosion, test methods, underground piping, submerged piping
