Hemi 100, 100 cm2 Steel Spherical Coupon by Farwest Corrosion

Cathodic protection coupons are a simple, size-specific piece of metal with one or more wires attached and are used for evaluating corrosion control or cathodic protection systems protecting a structure, typically a steel pipeline. These measurements include:

• Native or unprotected structure-to-soil potentials
  
• Structure-to-soil potentials with the CP system energized
  
• Structure-to-soil potentials with the CP system interrupted
  
• To emulate an “OFF” structure-to-soil potential without interrupting CP current, typically referred to as a “Coupon Interrupt” reading
  
• For magnitude measurements of AC current density on a structure with known induced AC issues
