Acceptable lesser negative values may clearly laid out in ISO 15589-1 and reproduced below for convenience.

INTERFERENCE 8.1. Stray Current on Metallic Structures Stray currents are currents through electrical paths other than the intended circuit. Stray current is not galvanic corrosion current between anodes on the same structure. Stray current or interference current can refer to either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). AC stray current is more of a safety hazard than a corrosion problem. DC stray current causes significant corrosion of most metals.

Specifically, the subject matter dealt within this document relates to stray current caused by operation of Impressed Current Cathodic Protection System for Gunung Megang – Singa pipeline to foreign crossing and/or parallel pipelines in the area. Stray currents will occur if foreign pipeline crosses a groundbed voltage gradient and it will promote current pick-up on the foreign pipeline within the area of influence. Because current is picked up on the foreign pipeline, then current must discharge outside the area of influence. The effects of stray current on metallic structures can be harmful, beneficial or innocuous depending on the magnitude of the current density, type o structure and location of current pick-up and discharge areas. 8.1.1. At Area of Current Pick-Up At the area of current pick-up, a negative shift will result in cathodic polarization, and if the foreign structure is mild steel then there is a beneficial effect as the structure is receiving some measure of cathodic protection. If the structure is coated and has its own cathodic protection system, the additional polarization from the stray current pick-up may result in cathodic blistering of the coating. 8.1.2. Along the Structure Parallel Line (Parallel Line) Stray current in metallic structure does not usually cause damage between the stray current pick-up and discharge location unless the current is very large (close to anode groundbed) 8.1.3. At the Stray Current Discharge Location Considerable attention is given to identifying the site of current discharge in stray current investigations because this is where corrosion damage is most like to occur on all metallic structures. When a current transfers from a metallic structure to earth, it must do so via an oxidation reaction which converts electronic current to ionic current.

4) Clamp ammeter 5) Electrician hand tools All equipments will be calibrated and should have valid calibration certificates where required. 8.3. Criteria Three (3) criteria are commonly used in determining the adequacy of the mitigation: 1) The “NO SWING” criterion may be applied. This requires that the potential of the effected pipeline does not shift in the positive direction when the foreign rectifier cycles from off to on. This criterion is reasonably applicable to well coated pipelines but maybe unnecessarily severe. A “NATURAL POTENTIAL” criterion maybe applied. The affected pipe is to be returned to the potential existing before the interference began by the installation by mitigation measures such as an interference bond. In many cases the natural potential may be very difficult to determine. A “NO CORROSION” criterion may be applied. If it can be shown that the affected pipeline is cathodically protected and meets the applicable potential criterion (criteria for protection as defined ISO 15589-1:2003) for full cathodic protection then no additional measures need by taken. 8.4. Interference Testing Essentially where interference is suspected or there may be a possibility the rectifiers on one line are cycled ON and OFF, measurements are made on both pipes at the pipeline crossing and/or parallel to see if the potential on the foreign crossing and/or parallel pipeline are being adversely affected. A positive shift on a foreign crossing and/on parallel pipelines indicates interference. 1) Cycling the rectifiers ON and OFF will require the installation of GPS current the interrupters on all cathodic protection current sources likely to influence the area of the affected pipe crossing. 2) The pipe-to-soil potential measurements will require the installation a high impedance DC voltmeter, portable copper/copper sulphate reference electrode and a set of test lead wires. 3) A copper/copper sulphate reference electrode will be placed in the soil directly over the pipeline. Make sure that there is good low resistant contact between the soil & reference electrode. In dry soil it may be necessary to use some water to wet a small area of soil. 4) Connect the lead wire of the reference electrode to the negative terminal of the voltmeter. Connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter to the Pipelines via the test station terminal (this will result a negative polarity on the DC display of digital voltmeter).

5) Adjust the voltmeter to the 2-Volt DC meter range and turn the meter on. 6) Observe and record the potential value at each test station location. 7) Records “ON” and “OFF” readings.

8.5. Mitigation If the shift is more than allowed by BS-7361-Part 1: 1991 – 9.3.3.2, i.e. 20 mV, then a number of methods can be used to lessen the harmful effects of stray currents as listed below: 8.5.1.

Install Interference Bond An interference bond with an adjustable resistor allows the interference current to be return from the foreign crossing pipeline via the bond cable and the resistor. The resistor is adjusted so that just enough current flows to remove the positive shift but not allow the foreign crossing to take too much Cathodic Protection current. Not all crossing will require a bond. An interference bond is a cable from one pipe to the other through a variable resistor normally mounted in a junction box. The installation of variable resistor is relatively simple. The variable resistor shall be slotted in the junction box. Condition on every crossing/parallel is different and the current drained and the value of resistance is different. Generally speaking a small resistor say 0 to 1 ohm and 2 amperes is sufficient. Upon installation of the interference bond, measurements as per section 8.4 shall be repeated.

8.5.2. Installation of Galvanic Anodes When the area of stray current discharge is very localized, such as at crossing with the interfering structure, the installation of galvanic anodes to the foreign pipeline has considerable benefit. If the foreign pipeline is coated, the path resistance through the galvanic anodes will be substantially less than the coated pipeline. 8.5.3. Using Coating to Mitigate Interference Effects

Applying a coating is an attempt to increase the resistance of the stray current path, thus decreasing the stray current magnitude. As a stand alone method, coating should only be applied at current pick-up locations. If the discharge area of a structure is coated, there is a risk of corrosion failure due to high discharge current density at a holiday in the coating. 8.5.4. Install/burying a metallic shield next to the affected structure The intent of a buried metallic conductor is to intercept the stray current and thus provide an alternative low resistance path for the stray current compared to the metallic structure path. Connecting the metallic shield, which could be a bare cable or pipe, directly to the negative terminal of the transformer rectifier would more effective. This is applied to anodic Interference. i.e. foreign pipeline crosses a groundbed voltage gradient.
