Procedure
Excavate (wherever pipeline backfilled with soil) a pit over the pipeline to expose the pipeline
top surface at location of Thermit weld where cable to pipe connection is to be carry out as per
design document. Care should be taken not to damage the coating of buried pipeline. Only
manual excavation shall be carried out over pipeline.
Mark where connection is to be carried out. If there are more than one connection as per design
document, consecutive marking shall be minimum 300 mm apart. Connection location shall be
minimum 300mm apart from other connection and Welding joint, Seam or Circumferential Weld
Page 32 of 48
CORROSION MATTERS
Joint of the pipeline. The location for cable to pipe connection shall be selected such that the pipe
joints and field-coated areas are avoided.
Cut open the coating on the pipeline with care and without damaging the pipe for a size of
approximately 50 mm x 50 mm (suitable for thermit weld mould).
Clean the surface of the pipeline to white metal finish using sand paper and cleaning with fine file
as required.
Depending on the size of cable select the model of cad weld material i.e. CA-15 or CA-32 and
mould.
Copper sleeve of suitable size shall be double Crimped on the cable (up to 10 sqmm cable).
Place the mould on the exposed area and pour the cad weld material. Ignite using the gun and
wait for 2 minutes cool down period.The resistance of Cable to pipe at thermite connection point
shall not exceed 0.1
Test the connection by striking 0.5 Kg hammer directly over the connection. And if connection
fails, the above procedure shall be repeated after waiting time of approx.10min.to cool the
pipeline surface.
Place a plastic funnel around the exposed area such that about 15mm wide coating remains in
side the plastic funnel. Apply mastic/Mseal around the plastic funnel to prevent leakage of
encapsulation materials.
Mix proper quantity of epoxy-hardner and keep mixing with wooden rod till it gets heated, Fill up
the conical funnel from the top by pouring mix of Epoxy Dobofil 60 and hardener 758 at
1:10 ratio. 3/4th of the cone to be Rilled with mix and remaining plastic cone to cut after setting of
the hardener.
Allow the epoxy-hardener to set ensuring every metallic part of joint is completely insulated and
test the insulation level by a holiday detector at 25 KV.
Cable shall be laid in accordance with approval cable laying drawings. Cable route shall be
carefully measured and cable cut to be required length from test station to pipe. A loop of approx
0.5mtr.of cable shall be kept at both pipe and Test Station end.

Commissioning Procedure
On completion of installation of anode beds and other systems as envisaged in the specification,
they shall be individually checked, tested and compared against the agreed specifications and
procedure.
The CP commissioning shall be carried out with current interrupter provided in the output of the
CPPSM unit to measure CP ON & OFF potentials.
Current dissipated by each anode shall be corrected through anode lead junction box.
Electrical continuity of the entire pipeline shall be verified in conformity with design.
Input resistance of the pipeline at all the drainage points shall be checked and recorded.
Temporary protection facilities provided (if any) which do not form part of permanent CP shall
be disconnected from the sytem & removed unless agreed otherwise.
The pipeline shall be allowed to depolarize for atleast 72 hours after switching off the protection
(if any) of all other pipelines in the common R.O.W.
Before the pipeline is put on charge by switching on CP station, natural structure to-electrolyte
potential values at all the test stations of the system shall be measured with respect to zinc
reference cell.
Page 36 of 48
CORROSION MATTERS
CP station shall be energized so as to achieve a maximum pipe soil potential (PSP) as specified at
the test station nearest to the drainage point, and observations on either spread of protected
portion of pipeline under this CP station shall be taken for PSP values pipeline current values
across the cross section of the pipeline shall also be determined at all the intended test stations
influenced by this CP station.
Another complete set of PSP observations shall be taken after lines have stayed on charge for
24/48 hours. If there are appreciable differences in these observations as compared to those of
earlier set, a third set of observations shall be taken after 72 hrs. Maximum drainage point
protective potentials shall not be allowed to go beyond the maximum PSP values as specified, in
any case.
The output of CP Station shall then be so adjusted that the sites of occurrence of least negative
protective potentials are increased to (-) 1.00 V. A full set of observations shall again be taken 72
hrs. after the adjustment of potentials and the protection system shall be left in this state of
operation.
Care shall be exercised to ensure that power supply remains uninterrupted during the period of
commissioning. In case of an interruption, the test in progress shall be repeated after allowing
time for polarization. More sets of observations may be advised to be taken by the
owner/owners representative in any of the above-mentioned steps.
PSP values at each of the test stations of the existing pipelines shall be measured and plotted
where existing pipelines run in parallel to the new pipeline and mutual interference situations
between the pipelines shall be identified and necessary mitigation shall be carried out.
Interference situations shall also be identified and mitigated by comparing different sets of
readings taken at same test stations at different intervals of time under identical conditions
where positive potential swing exceed 50 MV.
Final records of testing and commissioning including graphical representation of final structure
to electrolyte potential readings shall be complied with interpretation in consolation with
owner/owners representative and submitted.
If it is found during commissioning that the sites of occurrence of least negative or most negative
protective potentials are less negative than (-) 1.00V even after 72 hrs of operation, then the
drainage point potentials shall be adjusted depending upon anode ground bed currents in
consultation with Owner/Owners representative. In any case, the drainage point protective ON
potential values shall not exceed the PSP values as per specification and the pipe to soil OFF
potential shall not exceed a value more negative than (-) 1.20 V at any location on the pipeline.
The current dissipated by the indiviual anodes shall be measured from the anode lead junction
box and corrected for equal dissipation to the extent possible keeping the total ground bed
current same.

Procedure
Before commencing the survey, confirm that the cathodic protection system is operating
normally by checking the DC feeders, drain points, insulating joints with commissioning
results.
Check the cathodic protection commissioning result to identify the area requiring special
attention during the CIPL survey.
Locate the route of the pipeline using the pipeline locator and provide temporary markers
(Marking powder) on the route to enable the survey to walk-on the route of the pipeline for
carrying out the CIPL survey.
Install current interrupter with synchronized timer in the DC negative output of the DC
power source (CP System) at the CP station of the section in which the survey is being
carried out.
With the equipment connected and the pipeline located, move along the pipeline carrying the
mobile data collector and Zinc reference cell and measure and store the pipe to soil
potentials.
Record distance traversed and physical features such as roads, as descriptors to assist
locating specific areas after processing the data.

As each section between TLP connections is completed, real the fine wire for further use and
shift continuous chart records to the next section.
Transfer the data from the simcorder to a computer for producing the data print outs and
plot of the PSP potential profiles.
After completing the survey based on the above procedure, the readings in numeric and
graphical manner shall be submitted after detailed interpretation.
