On-Potential Cathodic Protection Surveys

On-Potential cathodic protection surveys are an integral aspect of implementing and maintaining the proper corrosion control solutions to meet your project’s needs. The cathodic protection potential measurements that result from these surveys can be a great help in identifying issues with the cathodic protection systems you are currently utilizing. With that said, these surveys make up only one part of a much larger equation that leads to a proper safety and quality assurance assessment of your systems.

On-Potential cathodic protection surveys are performed without interrupting the cathodic protection system. In general, the useful information from an on-potential survey is very limited, and requires a large amount of background information about your system and its past performance. This background data should be certified by a professional engineer prior to the reliance on that data for future on-potential studies. Call us before relying on cathodic protection potential readings, chances are you need a strong engineering analysis done by an Electrical Engineer.

On-Potential surveys should not be solely relied upon for effective corrosion prevention and require professional engineering judgement in order to effectively apply to any system.   Make sure an electrical engineer reviews the process and data that has been collected by any corrosion engineer performing an on-potential survey. Doing so will help you adequately assess whether your cathodic protection systems are functioning optimally and adhering to all NACE environmental and public health safety standards.
