NACE Course:
Cathodic Protection Level 4 (CP4) October 16th till October 21st, 2017 Baku, AZERBAIJAN
Description
This course focuses on the principles and procedures for CP design on a variety of structures for both galvanic and impressed current systems. The courses discusses theoretical design concepts, considerations that influence the design (environment, structure type/materials of construction, coatings), design factors, and calculations (including attenuation). Classroom instruction is comprised of lecture, in-class discussion, and practice with design calculations on various structures (i.e., pipelines, tanks and well casings, offshore applications, and steel reinforcing in concrete structures). The course concludes with a written and a problem solving examination. The examination is open book and students are welcome to bring any printed reference material they would like to the examination. IMPORTANT NOTE: The CP Specialist certification is a challenging exam. A direct progression from Cathodic Protection Technologist (CP 3) to Cathodic Protection Specialist (CP 4) does not exist. Participating only in the CP 4–Cathodic Protection Specialist course does not ensure success on the Cathodic Protection Specialist examination. Substantial experience involving all aspects of cathodic protection, including design and formal education in math/science/engineering, is critical to students’ success in the course and examination. Attendance at the Cathodic Protection Technologist and CP Interference courses are highly recommended before taking the CP 4–Cathodic Protection Specialist course or exam-only option.
Who should attend?
Individuals with experience in the design, installation, and maintenance of CP systems
Prerequisites
Students must have completed college or university-level courses in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and must have significant amounts of practical experence in CP Design Learning Objectives—The goal is to prepare students to:
Understand activation, concentration, and resistance polarization, and the mathematical expressions of these concepts Understand the factors that affect polarization (area, temperature, relative movement, ion concentration, oxygen concentration) Apply the NACE criteria for CP and make necessary adjustments Identify errors in data collection/CP measurements including contact resistance errors, voltage drop errors, and reference electrode errors where the technologist is employed Determine ideal current distribution for a CP system taking into account the factors affecting current distribution Perform advanced cathodic protection testing using correct measurement techniques to monitor CP system performance, and accurately interpret the data collected to ensure optimum CP system performance. Identify and implement a method of control that will mitigate the effects of the stray current Conduct and document interference tests to determine if interference exists and identify the source of the interference.
