Cathodic Protection Procedures - Diagnostic Testing
حفاظت کاتدی - آزمون دیاگنوستیک (ملزومات جریان)
ABSTRACT
The purpose of diagnostic testing (DT) is to outline a process to test for deficiencies in a cathodic protection (CP) system, to identify the cause(s) of such deficiencies, and to determine the requirements to enhance the level of CP to the structure. In an existing CP system, the DT is to first determine if the cause of low CP levels can be eliminated and, if not, what additional current is required, in addition to how and where it can be applied. The CP Technician must have a good understanding of the criteria as well as the special conditions and precautionary notes that apply to these criteria.
