AMPP CP2 Technician (Cathodic Protection) (5 day) | 12 – 16 May | JHB

Course topics include intermediate level discussions of corrosion theory and CP concepts, types of CP systems, CP interference, introduction to CP design and advanced field measurement techniques.

Course aimed at:

This course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical techniques for testing and evaluating data for both galvanic and impressed-current CP systems. The course is designed for persons who either have an engineering/scientific background and some working knowledge of CP, or have several years of CP field experience with a sound technical background. High school science and mathematics, comprehensive knowledge of electricity, electrical laws and circuits, meter operation and CP fundamentals are necessary for the understanding of the material in this course.

Course subjects covered:

Perform advanced field tests (including current requirement test, shorted casing test, IR drop test, soil resistivity and interference tests) and evaluate the results
Perform tests to verify the presence of stray current interference and recommend method(s) to mitigate the interference
Conduct and understand the importance of periodic survey, including IR-free readings, polarization decay tests and current measurements
