PRACTICAL FUNDAMENTALS FOR FIELD USE OF INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT

THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CATHODIC-PROTECTION INSTRUMENTS ARE OUTLINED, PRIMARILY AS THEY APPLY TO UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES. EMPHASIS IS LAID ON REASONS FOR USING CERTAIN VARIETIES OF METERS AND ON THE LIMITATIONS THAT ARE IMPOSED BY WHAT METERS CAN AND CANNOT DO. THE TOPICS DISCUSSED ARE THE FOLLOWING: THE NATURE OF INDICATING METERS, GALVANOMETERS, BASIC METER MOVEMENTS, VOLMETERS, THE COPPER SULFATE ELECTRODE, FIELD VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS, AMMETERS, RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS, AC AND DC RESISTANCE, TAUT BAND METERS, CHECKING METERS, CARE OF INSTRUMENTS, AND METERS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR NONSTRAY CURRENT WORK.
