Q

Describe how to measure the “formation” of cathodic polarization for the 100 mV criteria?

A
  1. Measure the native potential
  2. Apply CP and allow structure to polarize,
  3. Measure the polarized (instant off) potential
  4. Find the difference of the native and polarized potentials,
  5. if greater than 100mV, criteria is met.

Q

Describe how to measure the decay of cathodic polarization for the 100mV criteria?

A
  1. Measure the polarized potential (instant off)
  2. De-energize CP system and allow structure to depolarize
  3. Measure the depolarized potential
  4. Dind the difference between the polarized and depolarized potential
  5. if greater than 100mV, criteria is met.

Q

Why should the 100mV polarization criteria not be utilized in areas where inter granular external SCC is suspected?

A

criteria may place the structure in the range for cracking, which is between the native and -850 mV CSE.

laboratory use

22
Q

SHE/Saturated Hydrogen Reference Electrode

A
  • laboratory use
  • determines the potential f other reference electrodes that are better suited for field use
  • mother reference of all electrodes
23
Q

A

moving all cathode to electro negative direction

24
Q

ideal reading

A

true and accurate reading/real polarized potential

25
Q

CP concept

A
  • current flows onto structure from external anode, polarize cathode in electronegative (active) anode
  • potential difference between anode and cathode is reduced to zero = no corrosion current flow.
26
Q

IR Drop consideration

A
  • determining the significance of voltage drops by method such as
  • measuring/calculating voltage drops
  • remaining the historical performance
