NACE TM0497 – Measurement Techniques Related to Criteria for Cathodic Protection on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems

This NACE International standard test method provides descriptions of the measurement techniques and cautionary measures most commonly used on underground and submerged piping other than offshore piping to determine whether one or more selected criterion has been met at a representative test site(s) with consideration for special conditions. These methods are also applicable to many other underground or submerged metallic structures. Descriptions of measurement techniques and cautionary measures used on offshore pipelines and structures can be found in NACE SP0115/ISO 15589-2 for offshore pipelines and SP0176 for offshore structures.1,2 This standard includes only those measurement techniques that relate to the criteria or special conditions, such as a net protective current and alternating current (AC) corrosion testing.3
The measurement techniques described require that the measurements be made in the field. Because the measurements are obtained under widely varying circumstances of field conditions and pipeline design, this standard is not as prescriptive as those NACE standard test methods that use laboratory measurements. Instead, this standard gives the user latitude to make testing decisions in the field based on the technical facts available.
