Overview

Cathodic protection coupons are a simple, size-specific piece of metal with one or more wires attached and are used for evaluating corrosion control or cathodic protection systems protecting a structure, typically a steel pipeline. These measurments includes:

Native or unprotected structure-to-soil potentials
Structure-to-soil potentials with the CP system energized
Structure-to-soil potentials with the CP system interrupted
To emulate an “OFF” structure-to-soil potential without interrupting CP current, typically referred to as a “Coupon Interrupt” reading.
For magnitude measurements of AC current density on a structure with known induced AC issues.
Use as an isolated coupon to evaluate native or unprotected potentials.
