No.

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 stringing test leads across streets, roads and other SAEP-332
A3
locations subject to vehicular traffic. Sec. 4

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
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

Ensure that the proper voltmeters and ammeters and suitable reference SAES-X-300
B1
electrodes was used for CP testing.SAEP-332, Section 7 Sec. 3.1

Check the meter batteries periodically to ensure they still function

SAES-X-300
B2 properly. Generally, they should be replaced every year. SAEP-332,
Sec. 3.1
Section 7

SAES-X-300
B3 Ensure that all meters was calibrated.SAEP-332, Section 7
Sec. 3.1

Ensure that high input impedance meters for structure-to-electrolyte

SAES-X-300
B4 potential measurements, especially in areas of high resistivity was used.
Sec. 3.1
Input impedance should be 20 megohms or greater.SAEP-332, Section 7

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

 Use a clamp-on-ammeter for the direct measurements of DC currents.
SAES-X-300
B5 Meters having current measuring capacity up to 200 amps and a variety of
Sec. 3.1
clamp sizes are preferred.SAEP-332, Section 7

Ensure that the copper-copper sulfate and silver-silver chloride reference SAES-X-300
B6
electrodes was properly maintained.SAEP-332, Section 7 Sec. 3.1

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

measurements periodically, for continuity and integrity. Repair or replace SAES-X-300
B7
faulty leads or connections before making measurements. SAEP-332, Sec. 3.1
Section 7

Testing and Commissioning should be completed by technicians with a

minimum of two years verifiable field experience and with a minimum
B8 SAEP-332, Sec. 6
industry certification level of NACE CP Level 2.

Minimum design life for the cathodic protection systems shall be 25 years
as follows:
a. Galvanic anodes only: 25 years (preferably for offshore pipelines and SAES-X-300
B9
non-electrified / non energized structures) and Sec. 6.3
b. Impressed current anodes: 25 years (preferably for electrified /
energized structures)
