The combined deliverables provide tools for incorporating real time pipe current measurements into a remote monitoring protocol to help in an integrated external corrosion management plan for cathodically protected pipelines. The use of continuous remotely collected pipe current measurements optimizes the corrosion protection and improves response time to upset conditions that might otherwise compromise the corrosion control.

1. PR229-203604-R01 Pipeline CP Monitoring Using Real Time Current Measurement - This report covers the results of and findings from the Phase 1 field-based research for PRCI Project EC-08-11 Pipeline CP Monitoring Using Real Time Pipe Current Measurement. Project EC-08-11 is directed toward determining the feasibility of taking remotely collected pipe current measurements into routine practice. The ultimate goal is to optimize the corrosion protection and improve response time to upset conditions that might otherwise compromise the corrosion control. Findings from the Phase 1 work will be used for an economic analysis and guidance document to be developed under Phase 2.
