7.10 In order to promptly perform unscheduled repairs and reduce breaks in the work of ECH in organizations operating the ECH devices, there should be a reserve fund of converters for cathode and drainage protection at the rate of - 1 backup transducer on 10 valid.

8 Requirements for the methods of controlling the effectiveness of the ECH installations during operation.
8.1 Control of the effectiveness of ECH pipelines of thermal networks are no less often than 2 times a year (with an interval of at least 4 months), as well as when changing the parameters of the ECH installations and when changing corrosion conditions associated with:


  • laying new underground structures;

  • due to repair work on thermal networks;

  • installing ECH on adjacent underground communications.
Note. Control of the effectiveness of EHA funds at the location of the AZ and the protector both in the channels and beyond them, it is produced only when the channels reach the surface of the heat insulating structure.

8.2 When checking the parameters of the electrodynate protection, the drainage current is measured, there are no current in the drainage chain when the polarity of the pipeline is changed relative to the rails, the threshold of the drainage is determined (if there is a relay in the drainage chain or control circuit), as well as resistance to the electrical circuit.

8.3 When checking the parameters of the cathode station, the cathode protection current is measured, the voltage at the output terminals of the cathode station and the potential of the pipeline on the contact device.

8.4 When checking the settings for installing electroplating protection (when the protector is located in channels or cameras) measure:


  1. current strength in chains between protector sections and pipelines;

  2. the magnitude of the displacement of the potential difference between the pipeline and the measuring electrodes before and after connecting the sections of the protector to the pipelines.
8.5 Control of the effectiveness of ECH funds on pipelines of thermal networks

babe-free and channel gaskets with the placement of AZ outside the channel are carried out by the potential difference between the pipeline and MES installed in a stationary or nonstationary pile (in the latter case using portable MES).

8.6 The scheme of the portable MES is shown in Figure 4 of Appendix A ST-117-2007 "Pipelines of heat networks. Corrosion protection. Creating conditions. The norms and requirements, the scheme and technical characteristics of MES type Enes and ESN-MS, installed in stationary instrumentation, are shown in the POST-117-2007 "pipelines of thermal networks. Corrosion protection. Creating conditions. Norms and requirements. "

8.7 Stationary piles should be installed in the sections of heat networks, where the minimum and maximum permissible values \u200b\u200bof protective potentials are expected, in places intersection of thermal networks with rails of electrified transport

8.8 In the absence of stationary boiled, portable MES is installed on the surface of the earth between pipelines (in terms of), at the bottom of the thermal chamber (if there is water in it). Before installing the electrodes, the soil must be loosened to a depth of 4-5 cm and solid inclusions of more than 3 mm should be removed from it. If the soil is dry, it should be moistened to the total water saturation of tap water. For measurements, devices of type EV 2234, 43313.1, PKI-02 are used.

8.9 Duration of measurements in the absence of wandering currents should be at least 10 minutes with continuous registration or with manual recording of results every 10 seconds. With the presence of wandering currents, the tram with a frequency of 15-20 pairs per hour of measurement should be carried out during the watches of the morning or evening peak load of electrical transport.

In the zone of the influence of the wandering currents of electrified railways, the measurement period should cover the starting moments and the time of passing the electric trains in both sides between the two nearest stations.

8.10 The values \u200b\u200bof the potential difference between pipelines and MES in the protection area can be in the range of minus 1.1 to minus 3.5 V.

8.11 The average value of the potential difference U CP (B) is calculated by the formula:

U CP \u003d U I / N, (8.1)

where u i is the sum of the values \u200b\u200bof the potential difference; N is the total number of counts.

Measurement results are entered into the protocol (application and this standard), and also fix on thermal network circuits.

8.12 When the inefficient operation of the cathode or drainage installations is detected (the zones of their action are reduced, the potentials differ from permissible protective) It is necessary to regulate the mode of operation of the ECM installations.

8.13 The abstraction of the AZ current to spread in all cases where the operating mode of the cathode station changes dramatically, but at least 1 time per year. The resistance to the spreading current AZ is determined as a private from dividing the voltage at the output of the cathode installation at its output current or at the location of AZ outside the channel using M-416, F-416, F 4103-M1 devices and steel electrodes according to the scheme shown in Fig. 1. Measurements should be performed in the most dry season. Drainage wire (6) for measurement time should be disabled. With the length of the LAA, the feed electrode (5) is referred to a distance in  3LAs, auxiliary electrode (4) - at a distance A  2LA.

1 - anodic grounds; 2 - instrumentation; 3 - measuring instrument; 4 - auxiliary electrode; 5 - feed electrode; 6 - drainage wire.

Figure 1 - Measuring resistance to anodic grounding

At the arrangement of Az in the channels, the resistance to spreading the current AZ is determined by flooding or changing the channel to the level of the insulating structure of the pipes. If there is a few shoulders of AZ, their resistance to spreading current is determined separately.

8.14 Control of the effectiveness of ECH funds on pipelines of heat networks of the channel gasket at the arrangement of AZ and electroplating anodes (protector) directly in the channels, is carried out by the value of the potential difference between the pipeline and installed on its surface (or thermal insulation) WE in the direction of negative values \u200b\u200bwithin from 0.3 to 0.8 V.

In ECH, with the help of protectors from the magnesium alloy, the displacement of the potential difference between the VE and the pipeline should be at least 0.2 V.

8.15 Before the start of measuring operations in a given ECH zone, the levels of flooding of a channel and chambers are determined if there is a visually or instrumental method. In the latter case, the level of flooding is determined by the reaches of the IE installation items on the supply and return pipelines - at the level of the lower forming heat insulating structure.

8.16 Checking the presence of water at the installation level of the WE is made in such a sequence:

Disconnect the cathode protection stations (the protectors are not turned off when applying them);

The megaometer is connected to the conductor from the pipeline on the piping at the piping and WE;

When the jumper is removed on the piping between the pipeline and VE measure the electrical resistance R.

The value of R  10.0 kΩ indicates the presence of water in the channel (camera) at the installation level of the IE or above it.

Similar measurements are produced in other paragraphs where VEs are installed.

8.17 Measuring the potential of pipelines with respect to the VE in areas where the channel flooding at the installation level of the VE or above it (after the technical inspection of ECH installations) is made in such a sequence:

When the SCZ is turned off, connect the voltmeter to the checkpoint terminals: the positive clamp of the voltmeter is to the terminal "T" (pipeline), negative to the terminal of the rolling electrode. For measurements, a voltmeter with an input resistance is not lower than 200 kΩ per 1.0 to the instrument scale (type 43313.1 multimeter, eV 2234 type voltammermeter). The toggle switch or jumper must be open.

No less than 30 minutes after disconnecting the SCZ to fix the initial value of the potential difference between the pipeline and VE (IX), taking into account the polarity (sign).

Turn on the SCZ by setting the mode of its operation at minimum values \u200b\u200bof current and voltage.

An increase in current force in the chain of the SCZ to establish its value when the potential difference is reached between the pipeline and VE: and 'T-VE. In the range of minus 600 to minus 900 mV (no earlier than 10 minutes after setting the value of the current for the current).

Calculate both T-VE. Taking into account  and Ex.

And T-VE. \u003d I T-VE. - I isch. , mV.

Example of calculation number 1 .

I isch. \u003d -120 mV, and 'T-VE. \u003d -800 mV.

And T-VE. \u003d -800 - (-120) \u003d -680 mV.

Example of calculation number 2 .

I isch. \u003d +120 mV, and 'T-VE. \u003d -800 MV.

And T-VE. -800 - (120) \u003d -920 mV.

8.18 If the obtained values \u200b\u200band T-VE. At the instrument of protection area zones (in the sections of flooding or driving, the soil) are not within the value of minus 300 -800 mV, the current of the transducer current is adjusted.

Note. An increase in the current strength of the converter should be carried out taking into account the maximum allowable voltage value at the output of the converter equal to 12.0 V.

8.19 At the end of the measuring papers, if the VE is made of carbon steel, produce a closure of VE with a pipeline. If VE is made of stainless steel, WE with pipeline does not closure.

8.20 In case of faults of VE (damage to the conductors, mounting to the VEU pipeline), the available points are installed at the surface of the heat-insulating structure of the portable VE, with which the measuring work outlined above is produced.

8.21 When the sections of pipelines that are not susceptible to flooding and not contact with the ground, the specified area (shoulder) should be turned off from the ECH system from the ECH system until the channel is detected. After disconnecting the specified area, additional adjustment of the operation of the SCZ is required. It is advisable to convert the SCZ, applying the device to automatically turn on or disconnect the SCs (or individual sections of pipelines), depending on the level of channel flooding in these areas.

8.22 Monitoring the effectiveness of ECH using electroplating anodes (protector) from magnesium alloys placed at the bottom or channel walls is carried out after the work specified in paragraphs 8.15-8.16 of this Standard.

8.23 When fixing the flooding of the channel on the installation section of the WE, the action of the protector protection measurement is checked:

Current forces in the link chain (group) "Protectors - Pipeline";

The potential of the tread or a group of protector disconnected from the pipeline relative to the copper-grinding electrode of the comparison installed at the bottom of the channel (if possible) or above the channel in the installation zone of the controlled group of protector;

Potential of the pipeline with respect to WE with a disabled and included group of prototors. Data is entered into the Protocol given in Appendix to this Standard.

Measurements of these parameters are produced only if there is a possibility of disconnecting the group of protector from pipelines and connecting measuring instruments.

The presence of a current in the chain "Protectors - Pipeline" indicates the integrity of the specified chain;

The potentials of the protector disconnected from the pipeline, the values \u200b\u200bof which (by absolute value) are not lower than 1.2 V, characterize the protectors, as good (the potentials of the protector are measured only in the presence of electrolytic contact of the testers with electrolyte - water at the bottom of the channel);

The potential difference between the pipeline and the VE with the on and off of the protector group is incorporated at least 0.2 V, characterizes the efficiency of the test protection of pipelines.

8.24 Direct assessment of the risk of corrosion and effectiveness of the EKHZ pipelines of thermal networks of the channel gasket and on the sections of their laying in cases can be made using corrosion indicators of the BPI-1 or BPI-2 type. The essence of the method of direct assessment of the risk of corrosion and the effectiveness of ECH, data processing methods during the survey of the surface of the BPPI-1, when the BPPI-2 is triggered in section 11 ST-117-2007 "Thermal network pipelines. Corrosion protection. Creating conditions. Norms and requirements "

8.25 The serviceability of the EIS is tested at least 1 time per year. For this purpose, special certified quality indicators of electrically insulating compounds are used. In the absence of such indicators, the voltage drops on the electrically insulating connection or synchronously the potentials of the pipe on both sides of the electrically insulating compound are measured. Measurements are carried out with two millivoltmeters. With a good electrically insulating connection, the synchronous measurement shows the potential jump. The results of the inspection are drawn up by the protocol according to the application of L of this Standard.

8.26 If there was six or more failures in the operation of the converter during the year on the current installation of the ECH, the latter is subject to replacement. To determine the possibility of further use of the converter, it is necessary to test it in the amount provided for by the requirements of the preset control.

8.27 In the case of the entire time of operation of the ECH installation, the total number of failures in its operation will exceed 12, it is necessary to examine the technical condition of pipelines along the entire length of the protective zone.

8.28 Total If the duration of interruptions in the operation of the ECH installations should not exceed 14 days during the year.

8.29 In cases where the protective potential of the pipeline is provided in the action of the installation of the ECH, the protective potential of the pipeline is provided by adjacent ECH installations (overlapping protection zones), then the malfunctional period is determined by the operational organization's manual.

8.30 Organizations operating ECH installations should annually compile a report on refusals in their work.

  1. Requirements for the production of production and consumption waste generated when protecting pipelines of thermal networks from external corrosion

11.1 The production of production and consumption, resulting in the protection of pipelines of thermal networks from external corrosion at the stage of acceptance and operation, should be considered:

Materials used in the production of anticorrosive coatings and lost their consumer properties (paints, solvents, hardeners);

Wires of non-ferrous metals used in the production of electrochemical protection devices and losing their consumer properties.

11.2 The procedure for treating waste generated by protecting pipelines of thermal networks from external corrosion is determined in accordance with the section "Requirements for the production of production and consumption waste at the construction and operation stages" ST-118A-02-2007 "Heat Systems. Delivery conditions. Norms and requirements. "

For more than 15 years, I develop cathode protection stations. Requirements for stations are clearly formalized. There are certain parameters to be provided. And the knowledge of the theory of protection against corrosion is not necessarily. Much more important than knowledge of electronics, programming, principles of designing electronics.

Having created this site, I did not doubt that someday the cathode protection section will appear there. In it, I'm going to write about what I know well about cathode protection stations. But somehow the hand does not rise about the stations, without told, at least short, about the theory of electrochemical protection. I will try to tell about such a complex concept as simple as possible, for non-professionals.

In fact, it is a source of secondary power supply, a specialized power supply. Those. The station connects to the supply network (usually ~ 220 V) and produces electric current with specified parameters.

Here is an example of a scheme of the electrochemical protection system of an underground gas pipeline using the East-1000 cathodic protection station.

The cathode protection station is installed on the ground surface, close to the gas pipeline. Because The station is operated in the open air, it must have the execution of IP34 and above. This example uses a modern station, with a controller GSM telemetry and a potential stabilization function.

In principle, there are very different. They can be transformer or inverter. There may be sources of current, voltage, have different modes of stabilization, various functionality.

Stations of past years are huge transformers with thyristor regulators. Modern stations are inverter converters with microprocessor control and GSM telemechanic.

The output power of cathode protection devices is usually located in the range of 1 - 3 kW, but can reach 10 kW. Special article is dedicated to cathode protection stations and their parameters.

The load for the cathode protection device is the electrical chain: the anode ground - the soil is insulation of the metal object. Therefore, the requirements for the output energy parameters of the stations, first of all, determine:

  • anodic ground state (anode-soil resistance);
  • soil (soil resistance);
  • the state of isolation of the corrosion protection object (object isolation resistance).

All station parameters are determined when creating a project of cathode protection:

  • the parameters of the pipeline are calculated;
  • the value of the protective potential is determined;
  • the power of the protective current is calculated;
  • the length of the protective zone is determined;
  • 0 Rubric :. You can add to bookmarks.
