Tester Qualifications/Training (567-Chapter 135 IAC, Definitions):

If NACE Certified Provide Certification No.:


Weather Conditions:
Temperature: Soil/Backfill Conditions (check): moist dry sand gravel soil
Minimum Inspection Requirements Checklist
Reviewed the cathodic protection system’s design: location of tanks, lines, anodes, testing locations, and structure to soil
potential readings. For impressed current systems include structure to soil native potential readings and rectifier amp
and voltage settings.
Reviewed record of previous cathodic protection system inspection: tank to soil potential readings, test locations, and
previous inspectors comments and observations. For impressed current systems, review the record for previous rectifier
amp and voltage readings and record current readings.
Provided site diagram with testing locations properly marked.
Tested the system for electrical continuity: tanks, product lines, flex connectors, vent lines, conduit and other tank system
equipment.
Conducted structure to soil potentials on all protected tanks, piping, and flex connectors. A minimum of three per tank
along the center line, at the ends and middle. For each product line, tested above piping at the ends and middle (away
from anode locations). Conducted additional tests on long piping runs.
For impressed current system, conducted structure to soil potentials for rectifier instant off readings. For polarization
readings not meeting the –850 mV requirement, tested for 100 mV polarization decay.
For impressed current system, checked rectifier operation and current to anodes at any junction boxes in system. Asked
owner if any physical changes have been made at site since installation.
Provided written explanation to the site owner on the cathodic protection systems operating status, recommendations,
and any repairs and attached it to this form.
Cathodic Protection System Certification
The cathodic protection system is operating according to its design standards and is providing cathodic protection to the tanks
and product lines: Yes No

Site Diagram Minimum test locations for each tank & line.
Sketch the facility below showing tanks, piping, buildings, vent lines
and dispenser islands. Include all surface openings to tanks for pumps,
fill pipes, tank monitoring, etc. Provide tank identification.

On the diagram identify reference cell test locations with an “R” and a
sequential number (R1, R2, etc.). Do the same for structure locations
using “S” (S1, S2, etc.).

Dispenser

When taking structure to soil potential readings, the reference cell must be as close to the structure as possible and be in
direct contact with the soil or backfill material around the tank and piping. For tank potential readings, soil or backfill may
be accessed through openings for pump risers, tank monitors, etc. directly above tank when available. Permanent cathodic
protection monitoring stations providing access to soil or backfill may need to be established through concrete or asphalt
paving above tank and piping. Do not take structure to soil potential readings with the reference cell directly on concrete
or asphalt paving. Potential readings made in this manner are not valid and will not be accepted.

Rectifier Readings (for impressed current system only)
