Detailed information about this program
The Cathodic Protection (CP) Field Techniques is a two-day course designed as an introduction to corrosion testing and data collection. Personnel new to the corrosion industry are encouraged to attend this highly engaging course to gain foundational knowledge and begin a CP career. Personnel within the corrosion industry who don't have opportunities to perform corrosion work are also encouraged to join, to experience real-world testing techniques. The two days include training in both the classroom and in a controlled field setting for the practical application of testing techniques. Field techniques covered include half-cell calibration check, structure-to-electrolyte measurements, rectifier measurements, structure-to-electrolyte measurements: ICCP, electrical isolation testing, soil resistivity, and locating.
