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. 3 a
- 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
SAEP-332
A2 can be induced into the test leads. Use rubber mats, rubber gloves, or
Sec. 3 b
both, 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 SAEP-332
A3
test leads should be used to determine if hazardous voltages exist before Sec. 3 c
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. 3 e
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
Sec. 3 f
the 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. 4.3.1
should be replaced every year.

SAEP-332
B2 Calibrate all meters annually.
Sec. 4.3.2

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

measurements, especially in areas of high soil resistivity. Input
SAEP-332
B3 impedance should be 20 megohms or greater. Multimeter with various
Sec. 4.3.3
setting levels of input impedance are preferred, for example, Miller model
LC-4©.

Page 1 of 8
 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. 4.3.4
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. 4.3.5.1
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. 4.3.5.1
-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
Sec. 4.3.5.2
required if the voltage difference is larger than 10 mV.

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

SAEP-332
B8 measurements periodically, for continuity and integrity. Repair or replace
Sec. 4.3.6
faulty leads or connections before making measurements.

C. TEST PROCEDURE FOR CATHODIC PROTECTION OF TANK INTERNAL POTENTIAL SURVEY

After recording the "As-Found" potential measurements, set the current

SAEP-332
C1 output of the impressed current anode system to operate at
Sec. 4.1.7.5
approximately 90% of the design current requirement.

For tanks with access holes from the tank roof, measure the "On"
potential measurements at three depths:
1) the tank bottom,
SAEP-332
C2 2) the midpoint, and
Sec. 4.1.7.5
3) one foot below the water level.
Note: Do not place the reference electrode close to the anodes on an
anode string but rather between anodes.

For both the impressed current and galvanic anode CP systems

SAEP-332
C3 -Measure the current output of the anodes associated with each tank
Sec. 4.1.7.5
-and record these on the Appendix E Commissioning Report.

The measured potentials shall meet the CP potential criteria, as stated in

SAEP-332
C4 SAES-X-500. The potential survey data shall also be recorded on the
Sec. 4.1.7.5
Appendix E Commissioning Report

Commentary Note:
Stringent adherence to all required safety precautions, including the use SAEP-332
C5
of fall prevention devices, is required when personnel are taking Sec. 4.1.7.5 a
measurements through tank roof access holes.

Commentary Note:
Tank internal CP system commissioning for water tanks should only be SAEP-332
C6
done when the tank is 100% full. This will ensure that the CP system is Sec. 4.1.7.5 b
set to provide protection for the full wetted surface area of the tank.

Commentary Note:
Measure potentials through the reference cell access holes that are
SAEP-332
C7 installed 150 mm from the tank shell (as shown on Standard Drawing No.
Sec. 4.1.7.5 c
AA-036353 or AA-036354). For existing tanks that do not have these
access holes, take the potentials as close to the shell as practical.

Report Forms:
Record all data relative to the commissioning and/or re-commissioning of
SAEP-332
C8 cathodic protection systems on the Commissioning Report forms
Sec. 5
attached in Appendix E of this Engineering Procedure. See Appendix E
Cathodic Protection, Tank Internal Commissioning Report

Evaluation of the Surveys -Forward the detailed data including raw data
and as-built data obtained during the commissioning surveys, to the
SAEP-332
C9 appropriate department for review. Determine the anomalies,
Sec. 4.2
discrepancies, and recommendations for upgrading or improving the
cathodic protection system (if any), and notify the appropriate agencies.
