The Cathodic Protection (CP) Field Techniques is a two-day course designed as an introduction to corrosion testing and data collection. Personnel new to the corrosion industry are encouraged to attend this highly engaging course to gain foundational knowledge and begin a CP career.
Explain consequences of corrosion on non-protected infrastructureIdentify parts of a corrosion cell and metals likely to corrode using the galvanic seriesRecall types, components, advantages, and disadvantages of CP systemsList components used for protecting, testing, and monitoring CP systemsOperate a multimeter to test voltage, current, and resistancePerform visual inspection and voltage verification on a reference electrode (half-cell)Measure structure-to-electrolyte potentials on galvanic anode and ICCP systemsAnalyze results to determine adequate CP levelSafely open a rectifier cabinetMeasure voltage and current output of a rectifierPerform isolation testing on above ground structuresLocate buried structures using inductive and conductive methodsPerform soil resistivity test using Wenner 4-pin methodRecall test wire connection methods and coating application on test wire connection point
