A. Appropriate safety precautions must be followed when making electrical measurements:

Use properly insulated test lead clips and terminals to avoid contact with
unexpected hazardous voltages.
- Test clips should be attached one at a time each time a connection is
SAEP-332
A1 made.
Sec. 4 e
- A single hand should be used to make the connection, in a well balanced
body position, while the other hand should be free from resting on any
surface.

Use caution when long test leads (100 meters or longer) are extended
near overhead high voltage AC power lines, since hazardous voltages can
SAEP-332
A2 be induced into the test leads. Use rubber mats, rubber gloves, or both,
Sec. 4 f
when making measurements if induced AC potentials over 15 volts are
measured on pipelines near high voltage AC power lines.

Use caution when making tests at electrical isolation devices. Appropriate


voltage detection instruments or voltmeters with insulated test leads SAEP-332
A3
should be used to determine if hazardous voltages exist before Sec. 4
proceeding with tests.

Personnel must be knowledgeable and qualified in electrical safety


SAEP-332
A4 precautions prior to installing, adjusting, repairing or removing impressed
Sec. 4 b
current protection equipment.

Testing should be avoided when thunderstorms are in the area. Remote


SAEP-332
A5 lightning strikes can create hazardous voltage surges that travel along the
Sec. 4
pipe under test.

B. CP Test Equipment and Maintenance- Voltmeters, ammeters and Reference Electrodes

Use proper voltmeters and ammeters and suitable reference electrodes


for CP testing. These meters are operated by batteries. Check meter SAEP-332
B1
batteries periodically to ensure they still function properly. Generally, they Sec. 7.1.1
should be replaced every year.

SAEP-332
B2 Calibrate all meters annually.
Sec. 7.1.4

Use high input impedance meters for structure-to-electrolyte potential


measurements, especially in areas of high soil resistivity. Input impedance SAEP-332
B3
should be 20 megohms or greater. Multimeter with various setting levels Sec. 7.1.5
of input impedance are preferred, for example, Miller model LC-4©.

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use


Use a clamp-on-ammeter for the direct measurements of DC currents.
Meters having current measuring capacity up to 200 amps and a variety of
clamp sizes are preferred. When changing clamp sizes for the same SAEP-332
B4
meter, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for adjusting the readings. Sec. 7.1.6
Currently, the clamp-on ammeters made by William H. Swain company
are widely used in Saudi Aramco facilities.

Properly maintain copper-copper sulfate and silver-silver chloride


reference electrodes, as follows:
1-Clean the tips of the copper-copper sulfate electrodes,
2-Ensure that the electrodes contain an adequate volume of electrolyte
with an excess of copper sulfate crystals. SAEP-332
B5
3-Inspect and test the electrodes one against another or against a Sec. 7.1.7
standard voltage source, periodically.
4-Make sure that the voltage difference shall not exceed a maximum
differential of 10 mV.
5-If this maximum is exceeded, a complete clean-up is needed.

In the clean-up,
-Remove the oxide layer on the copper rod by using fine sand paper
-Renew the copper sulfate electrolyte.
-Fill the electrode half full, as a minimum, with a saturated water solution SAEP-332
B6
of copper sulfate. Sec. 7.1.7
-Use only distilled water and chemically pure copper sulfate.
-add an excess of copper sulfate crystals, equal to approximately 10% (by
weight) of the saturated solution in the cell.

Inspect and test silver-silver chloride electrodes, one against another or


SAEP-332
B7 against a standard voltage source, periodically. A replacement is required
Sec. 7.1.8
if the voltage difference is larger than 20 mV.

Check test leads of voltmeters used for structure-to-electrolyte


SAEP-332
B8 measurements periodically, for continuity and integrity. Repair or replace
Sec. 7.1.3
faulty leads or connections before making measurements.

C. TEST PROCEDURE FOR CATHODIC PROTECTION PLANT POTENTIAL SURVEY

Measure the potential between the Structure to the electrolyte before the SAEP-332
C1
CP system is energized or as found potential. Sec. 11

Measure the potential between the Structure to the electrolyte when the SAEP-332
C2
CP system is turned On.. Sec. 11

Measure the potential between the Structure to the electrolyte when the SAEP-332
C3
CP system is turned Off. Sec. 11

SAEP-332
C4 An evaluation of current distribution in the negative circuits, if applicable
Sec. 1

Commentary Note:
The Saudi Aramco Project Management Team (SAPMT) shall be notified SAEP-332
C5
of the deficiencies detected during the commissioning to ensure corrective Sec. 5
action is taken.

Bond Adjustment: Generally, at the bonding stations, resistors are not


required and direct bonding connections shall be applied. Measure the
magnitude and direction of the CP current flowing through the direct
SAEP-332
C6 bonds. However, if resistors are utilized, also record the magnitude and
Sec. 11
direction of CP currents flowing through the resistors. Measure the
potentials on the bonded piping sections, and record these on the
appropriate commissioning report.

For structures surrounded by soil, measure the structure potential with a SAEP-332
C7
portable copper-copper sulfate reference electrode. Sec. 9.1.1

With the exception of well casing potential measurements, place the


SAEP-332
C8 reference electrode in close proximity to the structure to minimize
Sec. 11.1.2
measurement error associated with voltage (IR) drop in soil.

Avoid placement of the reference electrode near buried anodes, bare


copper grounding cables, or steel reinforced concrete pilings or SAEP-332
C9
foundations as this may generate erroneous readings and should be Sec. 11.1.4
avoided.

For structures surrounded by water, measure the structure-to-water SAEP-332


C10
potentials with a portable silver-silver chloride reference electrode. Sec. 8.1.1

During the potential measurements, keep the reference electrode as close SAEP-332
C11
as possible to the structures. Sec. 8.1.2

If there are anodes in the area of the potential measurement, locate the
SAEP-332
C12 reference electrode midway between the anodes. Measure potentials at
Sec. 8.1.3
well-defined locations to allow for future monitoring.

If stationary reference electrodes are installed to monitor the protection


levels on a structure, measure the structure potentials with reference to
these electrodes. However, the potentials of the stationary electrodes SAEP-332
C13
shall be compared with the potential of the portable reference electrode Sec. 11
used in the commissioning survey to validate the potential values
measured by these stationary electrodes.

Report Forms: Record all data relative to the commissioning and / or re-
commissioning of cathodic protection systems on the Commissioning SAEP-332
C14
Report forms attached in Appendix A through K of this Engineering Sec. 5
Procedure.

Evaluation of the Surveys: Forward the detailed data including raw data
and as-built data obtained during the commissioning surveys, to the
SAEP-332
C15 appropriate department for review. Determine the anomalies,
Sec. 5
discrepancies, and recommendations for upgrading or improving the
cathodic protection system (if any), and notify the appropriate agencies.
