... is varied. IR drop constricted flow CP design INTRODUCTION If standard procedures (in recommended practices -for example DNV-RP-B401 ¹ ) are followed, it is generally possible to achieve a competently designed sacrificial CP system for an individual “protection object”, and for multiple...

... technology makes an IR Drop test span a more effective tool for current mapping and stray current detection, as well as providing ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems on pipelines located in congested right of way areas. Abstract The IR drop test span is a specialized...

... on the basis of an on-potential criterion when the IR drop is ignored. Failure to correct the on-potential measurement, by removing the IR drop, leaves the public exposed to an unnecessary safety risk. -850 mV_CSE potential criterion polarized potential on-potential IR drop corrosion rate...

...IR Drop V (read) = P/S half electrode + V meter lead + Vreference half electrode + Vmeter lead If the input impedance of the meter is high, the measuring current will be low and the voltage (IR Drop) in the meter leads will be negligible. The meter will then read the true P/S potential V(read...

...Abstract IR Drop coupons are being utilized worldwide to determine the IR Drop in a potential measurement of a buried structure and to determine the effectiveness of cathodic protection on the buried structure. This paper will explain the use of IR Drop Coupons as a test method for determining IR...

... of the weight loss measurement procedure, these engineers and scientists of the 1930’s began measuring the potentials of the coupons. In the last decade, the use of coupons has been rediscovered as a practical method to determine the level of polarization of a buried structure and to determine the IR Drop...

... position and IR drop voltages for the protective potential measurement is discussed. The influence of soil resistivity, sulfate reducing bacteria, and temperature on the effectiveness of the minimum potential value is reviewed. In addition the hazards of overprotecting a steel structure with respect...

..., the relative intensity of the higher frequency component decreases as the rate of pitting increases contrary the prediction of a simple model. This decrease with increasing pitting current is attributed to the increasing importance of the effect of IR drop. Harmonics pitting aluminum alloy 8090 Type 304...
