D. Outer Covering : A plastic outer cover shall be applied over the petrolatum - saturated tape. The plastic shall be a minimum of 50 -guage (10 -mils) and shall have two layers applied.

PART 4 TESTING AND INSPECTION

The CONTRACTOR’s CORROSION ENGINEER shall submit his proposed test procedures to the ENGINEER at least five (5) days in advance of the time that the cathodic protection system testing is scheduled. The ENGINEER shall witness all testing at his discretion. All test data shall be submitted to the ENGINEER within seven (7) days of the completion of the testing. All testing shall be done under the supervision of a qualified CORROSION ENGINEER who is retained by the CONTRACTOR. All deficiencies found to be due to faulty materials or workmanship shall be repaired or replaced by the CONTRACTO R and at his expense. The City of Carlsbad shall be notified at least three (3) days in advance to witness the performance testing.

4.1 TEST LEADS

It is the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to test all test leads

Volume 3 Chapter 6

Page 189 of 190 ends

A. Test Method. All completed wire connection welds shall be tested by striking the weld with a 2 -lb hammer while pulling firmly on the wire. Welds failing this test shall have the surface re -prepared, have the wire re -welded to the pipe and re - tested. Wire welds shall be spot tested by the Engineer. After backfilling the pipe, all test lead pairs shall be tested using a standard ohmmeter.

B. Acceptance. The resistance between each pair of test leads shall not exceed 150% of the total wire resistance as determined from published wire data.

4.2 Anode Lead Wire . The CONTRACTOR is responsible for inspecting anode lead wires.

Lead wires shall be spot inspected by the ENGINEER.

A. Test Method. A visual inspection and by running his hand along the full length of the lead while installing.

B. Acceptance. All leads shall be free of cuts nicks or abrasions in the wire insulation. Damaged leads shall be rejected.

4.3 TEST LEAD TRENCHING

The ENGINEER, at his or her discretion, shall inspect wire trenches and backfill material and methods.

A. Test Method. The depth, trench bottom, padding, and backfill material shall be visually inspected prior to backfilling.

B. Acceptance. Conformance with specifications.

4.4 PIPELINE CONTINUITY THROUGH IN-LINE VALVES

The CONTRACTOR’s CORROSION ENGINEER shall measure the linear resistance of sections of pipe in which in-line valves or other mechanical joints have been installed. All testing shall be done by the CORROSION ENGINEER in the presence of the ENGINEER.

A. Test Method . Resistance shall be measured by the linear resistance method.

A direct current shall be impressed from one end of the test section to the other (typically test station to test station). A voltage drop is measured for several different current levels. The measured resistanc e (R) is calculated using the equation R=dV/I, where dV is the voltage drop between the test span and I is the current. The resistance shall be measured for at least four (4) different current levels.

B. Acceptance. Acceptance is a comparison between th e measured resistance (from the field test data) and the theoretical resistance. The theoretical resistance must consider the pipe (length and wall thickness) and the resistance of the bond wires. The measured resistance shall not exceed the theoretical resistance by more than 130%. The CONTRACTOR’s CORROSION ENGINEER shall submit, within seven (7) days of the completion of the testing and in a report format, to the ENGINEER all calculations of the theoretical resistance and measured pipe resistance for each section tested.

Volume 3 Chapter 6

Page 190 of 190 ends

4.5 INSULATING FLANGE KITS

A. Responsibility: Insulating flanges shall be inspected and tested by the CONTRACTOR’S CORROSION ENGINEER and in the presence of the ENGINEER, prior to backfilling. Testing of the buried insulating flang e kit prior to backfill will result in non-acceptance of the insulator.

B. Test Method: The assembled flange shall be tested using a Gas Electronics Model 601 Insulation Checker specifically design for testing insulating flanges. The testing shall be done by a qualified CORROSION ENGINEER accepted by the ENGINEER and shall be done in accordance with NACE RPO 286.

C. Acceptance: The installation of the insulating flange kit shall be considered complete when the testing device indicates no shorts or parti al shorts are present.

The CONTRACTOR shall provide assistance in finding any and all shorts or shorted bolts. All disassembly and reassembly necessary for acceptance shall be done at the CONTRACTOR’S expense.

4.6 CATHODIC PROTECTION PERFORMANCE

The c athodic protection system shall be activated and tested by the CONTRACTOR’s CORROSION ENGINEER in the presence of the ENGINEER.

A. Test Method . The installed cathodic protection system testing shall include:
native pipe-to-soil potentials, protected pip e-to-soil potentials, open -circuit anode potentials, and anode current output measurements.

B. Acceptance. Shall be based on achieving the –850 mV criterion as outlined in NACE RPO169-96. All data shall be submitted, in a typed 8 -1/2 X 11 inch report to the City’s ENGINEER and the City’s CORROSION ENGINEER for approval.

C. Compliance With Specifications . Deficiencies or omissions in materials or workmanship found by these tests shall be rectified at the CONTRACTOR’s expense. Deficiencies shall include but are not limited to: broken leads, improper or unclean trenches, lack of 18 -inchor slack wire in test boxes; improperly mounted test boxes; improper installation and testing of insulators; and other deficiencies associated with the workmanship, install ation, and non -functioning equipment.
