Obtaining The Polarized Potential Under AC Interference

Picture for Obtaining The Polarized Potential Under AC Interference
Available for download

The -850 mV (CSE) criterion refers to the polarized pipeline potential that is free of any IR-drop. Different methods to obtain the polarized potential exist. Interruption of the CP current will cause the current, I, and thus the IR-drop to become zero and the remaining polarization immediately after the interruption is representative of the polarized potential of the pipeline.

Obtaining the polarized potential (off potential / instant-off potential / IR compensated potential) of a pipeline is considered extremely difficult, if not impossible, when the pipeline is interfered by an alternating voltage, and particularly if the pipeline is fitted with capacitive AC mitigation devices. Yet, a number of procedures exists to obtain information on the polarized potential, due to its importance in cathodic protection operation. Two distinct approaches are measurements on the structure/pipeline itself, and measurements on coupons. While it can be agreed that the structure measurement is challenging, some believe that the coupon method is error-free, as the AC interference is not present on a disconnected coupon. This paper will illustrate that this is not entirely true. Some of the present challenges and some of the approaches to get meaningful measurements are presented.
