This paper provides case histories from four (4) successful Cathodic Protection Current In-line Inspections (CPC-ILI). Details of the findings and actions taken by the clients are presented.
Hidden Integrity threats that go undetected can result in compromised cathodic protection that may lead to pipeline leaks.This paper will discuss three hidden integrity threats that were discovered using an in-line pipeline inspection tool designed to measure cathodic protection current movement along the line. Conventional above grade cathodic protection survey methods failed to detect potentially serious issues on three pipeline systems.The current measurement in-line inspection process data analysisand findings will be discussed for three separate pipeline projects where conventional above grade cathodic protection testing methodologies failed to locate the threats hidden on the pipelines.

Measurement and interpretation of cathodic protection data in plant facilities present challenges where mixed metals are electrically continuous with the protected structure. This paper address some of the confusion and important aspects when using coupons for buried piping in mixed-metal circuits.

In this paper exhaustive field study trials to monitor the pipe to soil potential over an extended time period and subsequent analysis of data has been discussed with reference to the critical Combined Cathodic and Anodic Interference phenomena observed on pipelines.
Field tests found that a natural gas pipeline system was interfered by a high voltage direct current electrode. Interference level was computed and agreed with measured values, validating the model. The effectiveness of various mitigation methods was computed and discussed,
