Question 1

For a CP system design, what attenuation constant α describes the exponential decay of CP current along a uniformly coated pipeline?

α = sqrt(R_L / R_C), where R_L is pipe longitudinal resistance per unit length and R_C is coating resistance per unit length α = R_L × R_C α = R_C − R_L α = R_L + R_C

Correct Answer:

α = sqrt(R_L / R_C), where R_L is pipe longitudinal resistance per unit length and R_C is coating resistance per unit length

Question 2

A pipeline has a longitudinal pipe resistance of 10 microohms/m and a coating resistance of 10,000 ohm·m. What is α?

1.0 /m 1 × 10^-4 /m 1.0 × 10^-2 /m 0.0316 /m

Correct Answer:

1 × 10^-4 /m

Question 3

Dwight's equation gives the ground resistance of a single vertical anode. The equation is:

R = (ρ / 2πL) × (ln(8L/d) − 1), where ρ is soil resistivity, L is anode length, and d is anode diameter R = ρ × L R = ρ / (π × d²) R = 4π × ρ × L

Correct Answer:

R = (ρ / 2πL) × (ln(8L/d) − 1), where ρ is soil resistivity, L is anode length, and d is anode diameter

Question 4

Which of the following standards is the primary reference for CP design for AST tank bottoms (external)?

NACE SP0285 API RP 651 / NACE RP0193 NACE SP0388 NACE SP0290

Correct Answer:

API RP 651 / NACE RP0193

Question 5

For designing CP for a 10 km new bare steel pipeline in 3,000 ohm-cm soil, what is a reasonable first-pass current requirement estimate, assuming ~10 mA/m² for bare steel?

Approximately 100 mA total Approximately 50 A total (assuming ~5000 m² surface area for a 12-in pipe) Approximately 5 A total Approximately 5,000 A total

Correct Answer:

Approximately 50 A total (assuming ~5000 m² surface area for a 12-in pipe)
