23、 NACE International 1 _ Section 1: General 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This standard defines the requirements for performing close-interval potential surveys and DC surface potential gradient surveys on buried or submerged metallic pipelines. For the purposes of this standard, the terms close-interval po

24、tential survey (CIPS) and close-interval survey (CIS) are used interchangeably. Procedures for performing hybrid close-interval surveys are given in Section 8. Procedures for performing CIS in marine conditions are given in Section 9. Considerations for dynamic stray current are given in Section 10.

25、 Procedures for performing DC cell-to-cell surface potential gradient surveys are given in Section 11. Methods for calculating the net current based on measured voltage drop and pipeline geometry are included in Appendix A (nonmandatory). 1.2 Scope 1.2.1 CIS is used to designate a potential survey p

26、erformed on a buried or submerged metallic pipeline, in order to obtain valid DC structure-to-electrolyte potential measurements at a regular interval sufficiently small to permit a detailed assessment. 1.2.1.1 Types of CIS include data collection prior to application of cathodic protection (CP) (na

27、tive-state survey), as well as data collection with the CP systems in operation (“on” survey), with the CP current sources synchronously interrupted (interrupted or “on/off” survey), with asynchronous interruption of CP current (waveform analyzer survey), and with CP currents turned off for some tim

28、e to allow the structure to depolarize (depolarized survey). 1.2.2 A hybrid survey is a CIS combined with other types of measurements such as side drains, lateral potentials, or cell-to-cell surface potential gradients along the pipeline. 1.2.2.1 This standard addresses hybrid survey techniques such

29、 as trailing-wire DCVG or intensive measurement surveys (CIS with side drains). 1.2.3 Surface potential gradient surveys are a series of surface potential gradients measured along or normal (perpendicular) to a pipeline. 1.2.3.1 This standard addresses DC cell-to-cell surface potential gradient surv

30、eys (e.g., hot-spot surveys, side-drain surveys) used to evaluate the direction of current in the earth and to identify possible anodic areas on a pipeline. AC-voltage gradient surveys (such as ACVG) and cell-to-cell surveys (such as traditional DCVG) used to evaluate the effectiveness of the coatin

31、g are described in other NACE publications.11.2.4 This standard includes procedures to perform these types of surveys along a buried or submerged pipeline. The standard acknowledges that all potential measurements contain error, and includes some guidance to minimize the error in each measurement. T

32、he standard does not address interpretation of survey data. A qualified person must determine whether the data contain an acceptable amount of error and can be used to evaluate the level of cathodic protection. 1.3 Qualifications 1.3.1 The provisions of this standard should be applied under the dire

33、ction of competent persons who, by reason of knowledge of the physical sciences and the principles of engineering and mathematics acquired by education and related practical experience, are qualified to engage in the practice of corrosion control on buried or submerged metallic piping systems. Such

34、persons may be registered professional engineers or persons recognized as Corrosion Specialists, CP Specialists, or Corrosion or CP Technologists by NACE if their professional activities include suitable experience in the collection and evaluation of these types of data used to monitor external corr

35、osion control of buried or submerged metallic piping systems. 1.3.2 Persons performing these types of surveys (for the purposes of this standard, called surveyors) must be qualified to understand and follow the applicable procedures contained in this standard or work under the direct supervision of

36、a person that is qualified. Such persons may be recognized as NACE CP Testers, Corrosion or CP Technicians, Technologists, Specialists, or equivalent if their professional activities include suitable experience in performing surveys of buried or submerged metallic piping systems. 1.4 Survey Impedime

37、nts 1.4.1 Certain conditions can make the data from a survey difficult to interpret properly, or make the survey impractical to perform. Examples include: 1.4.1.1 Areas of high contact resistance: 1.4.1.1.1 Pipe located under concrete or asphalt pavementContact resistance may be reduced by drilling

38、through the paving to permit electrode contact with the soil (see Paragraph 7.3.2). SP0207-2007 2 NACE International 1.4.1.1.2 Frozen groundContact resistance may be reduced by removing the frozen soil to permit electrode contact with unfrozen soil (e.g., drilling), or heating the soil to the meltin

39、g point of water. Because this is often difficult or impractical, surveys should be scheduled, when possible, to avoid unfavorable seasons. 1.4.1.1.3 Very dry conditionsIf the surface soil is dry enough to cause the electrical contact of the reference electrode with the electrolyte to be impaired, t

40、he soil around the electrode may be moistened with water until the contact is adequate (see Paragraph 7.3.4.6). Because this is often difficult or impractical, surveys should be scheduled, when possible, to avoid unfavorable seasons. 1.4.1.2 Adjacent buried or submerged metallic structures; 1.4.1.3

41、Surface conditions limiting access to the electrolyte: 1.4.1.3.1 Backfill with significant rock content or rock ledges; 1.4.1.3.2 Gravel; and 1.4.1.3.3 Dry vegetation. 1.4.1.4 Telluric or other dynamic stray currents; 1.4.1.5 High levels of induced alternating current (AC) that could influence poten

42、tial measurements or present a safety hazard; 1.4.1.6 Pipelines buried very deep; 1.4.1.7 Locations at which coatings cause electrical shielding; and 1.4.1.8 Lack of electrical continuity, such as with some forms of mechanically coupled pipe that have not been made electrically continuous through th

43、e use of bonding cables or straps welded across each coupling. 1.5 Applications of Surveys 1.5.1 CIS provides a detailed assessment of CP system performance and operation in accordance with established criteria for CP such as those in NACE SP0169.2A near-continuous evaluation is possible when perfor

44、med with a suitable survey interval (see Paragraph 7.2.1). 1.5.2 The objective of a CIS is to measure the structure-to-electrolyte potential at sufficient points along a pipeline. Interpreting the data can provide additional benefits such as: 1.5.2.1 Identifying areas outside the range of potential

45、criteria of a pipeline not identified by test point surveys; 1.5.2.2 Determining the extent of areas outside the range of potential criteria; 1.5.2.3 Locating medium-to-large defects in coatings (isolated or continuous and typically 600 mm21 in.2)1; 1.5.2.4 Locating areas of stray-current pickup and

46、 discharge or at risk for interference corrosion; 1.5.2.5 Determining the area of influence of CP; 1.5.2.6 Identifying possible shorted casings, defective electrical isolation devices, or unintentional contact with other metallic structures; 1.5.2.7 Locating areas of geologic shielding of CP; 1.5.2.

47、8 Measuring the level of CP in conducting current demand testing, and evaluating the effectiveness of current distribution along a pipeline; 1.5.2.9 Locating possible high-pH stress corrosion cracking (SCC) risk areas: the level of CP has been shown to be a factor in the susceptibility of pipelines

48、to high-pH SCC. CIS may assist in locating areas along a pipeline at which structure-to-electrolyte potentials fall in the susceptibility range for SCC; and 1.5.2.10 Locating and prioritizing areas of risk of external corrosion as part of an integrity management program, or a component of an external corrosion direct assessment (ECDA). 1.5.3 DC cell-to-cell surface potential gradient surveys may be used to evaluate the direction of current in the earth and to identify possible anodic areas on a pipeline. 1.5.3.1 Side-drain or latera
