The need for cathodic protection test stations?
The need for cathodic protection test stations?
(OP)
Good afternoon,
I am working on a project that involves a buried water main. We will be installing magnesium anodes to protect the pipe.
Since this is a new subject for me I've been doing a lot of reading but the one thing I'm having difficulties with is the test stations. I have loads of information on how to install one but I can't find anything on how to determine when and where you need them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
K

Pipe casing installations
Foreign metallic structure crossings and tie-ins
Isolation joints
Waterway crossings
Bridge crossings
Valve, regulating and meter stations
Galvanic anode installations
Road and railroad crossings
Transitions between steel piping and non-metallic piping
At regular intervals (such as 2 km) or as required.
Isolated sections of metallic piping that do not come above ground at any point.

There is an experienced corrosion engineer who will be checking over all the documents when I'm done, but he's away on vacation this week. I like to do my own reading also, expedites the learning process.

But at Crossing and Insulating Joint there is need for a Test Post.The design for each test post varies.Please note
