Duration: 5 Days
The CP 2—Cathodic Protection Technician course provides intermediate-level training in theoretical knowledge and practical fundamentals for testing on both galvanic and impressed current CP systems. The course concludes with a with practical (hands-on) examination. Students are also required to sit a theory examination after the course concludes at a Pearson VUE testing centre.
Who Should Attend:
Students with a working knowledge of cathodic protection or have extensive cathodic protection field experience with a technical background.
Note:
A comprehensive knowledge of electrochemistry, electricity, electrical laws, series and parallel circuits, meter operation, and CP fundamentals are necessary for understanding the material in this course.
Course Content:
- Perform advanced field tests (including current requirement test, shorted casing test, IR drop test, soil resistivity, and interference tests) and evaluate the results
- Perform tests to verify the presence of stray current interference and recommend method(s) to mitigate the interference
- Understand AC voltage and its mitigation
- Maintenance of documentation and records, including data plotting and analysis
- Conduct and understand the importance of periodic surveys, including IR- Free readings, polarization decay tests and current measurements
- Test and troubleshoot rectifier component parts
- Understand corrosion coupon test stations
- Understand code requirements related to CP
Course Format:
