I appreciate this venue and the opportunity to be able leave a comment. I am new to the corrosion control field and work for a public water municipality. I am solely responsible for the program and find corrosion consulting firms to be all over the map with regards to cp protection levels of both buried and above ground structures. I read, listen, experiment and learn through trial and error. I try to educate others to the best of my abilities. I value Roy's strong beliefs, find them to be educational and challenging to the status quo, and will also consider them as I manage my system, yet must rely on the NACE standards to justify my decisions. I want to encourage other knowledgable people to weigh in for the benefit of entry level CP technicians such as myself.
Thanks,
Nate
Mr. Bash,
I appreciate very much your effort for making this Blog site, I also have a comment regarding the NACE RP0169 they have two criteria for adequate Cathodic Protection, the -850mV instant "off" and the 100mV polarized potential but in the industry they often refer only to the -850mV criteria and mostly forgetting the other reliable criterion which is the 100mV polarized potential, I believed there should only be one criterion if we really want to make a standard, the -850mV instant "off" is a confusion with the 100mV polarized potential
