• Check the CP system’s ability to avoid corrosion problems
• Detect any corrosion problems to adjust/retrofit before any major failure
• In general secure integrity of the structure/pipeline
• Collect data to reduce future inspection requirements
• Regulations/Authorities
Why CP inspection?

Phases cont. Period A - Polarisation of new structure/pipeline. (Months)
Normally very short but dependant on design criteria and anode output characteristics.
Period B - Protected Design Life. (e.g. 15 years )
Stabilised CP conditions but dependant on CP design, anode efficiency, coating breakdown and environmental conditions.
e.g.. Design for approx 5 to 10 % coating failure.CP level desired; -950 mV to -1050 mV.
Period C - Depolarisation Period.
Period when anodes are reaching end of design life with reduced efficiency. The slope will depend on anode and coating conditions affecting protection level. Accuracy of CP measurements most critical.
Period D - Under Protection.
This is a critical period when protective levels drop below -800 mV (or -900 mV for buried pipe). Danger of failure from corrosion at localised postions.

What do we measure?
• Potential (CP) (vs. Ag/AgCl or Zn ref. Cells)• Electrical Field Gradient (EFG or FG in
uV/cm)• Anode current (mA or Amp)• Visual inspection of anodes
(geometry/consumption/loss of)• Visual inspection of coating damages

Calibration requirements
Calibration of the reference cells used in the CP equipments, e.g. Ag/AgCl or Zn ref. cells
Check of control reference cells, 3 calomel cells required in a calibration set.

Calibration of calomel reference cells
One set consists of 3 ”equal” calomel reference cells (SCE), i.e SCE 1, SCE 2 and SCE 3
Compare ref. cells by use of Multimeter; accept level from –2 mV to +2 mV.
Selection criteria: All accepted; select any. One reading out of range; the ref cell not in the reading to be used Only one reading OK; selected either of those. All readings outside accept criteria; select the best. After survey
deliver reference cell to laboratory for test.

Ref. DnV RP B403. Check against either a Zinc-block or
calomel ref cells Ref. cells/ Stab Reader immersed for 15 to
30 min. before check. NOTE! Not water from firewater system!!
Accept criteria Against Zn-block: - 1010 mV to –1050 mV. Against Calomel half cell: +1 mV to –9 mV

Check of CTC-2 probe (two ref. cells)
The matched pair used on CTC-2 system must be calibrated before mounting on ROV
New calibration within each 24 hours or pre and post dive.
FG reading is sensitive to drift/changes in the potential differences between the matched pair (offset) under operation.
”Zero field control”, by measuring ”off structure potential”, then on structure or anode.
