Test Points

(a)For purposes of this section, "Test Point" means a designated location to be used for electrical measurement to determine the adequacy of cathodic protection.#

(b)Sufficient, as used in 49 CFR 192.469, as amended from time to time, means:#

(1)at least one Test Point per 1,000 feet of Main being cathodically protected by only galvanic anodes;#

(2)at least one Test Point per 2,500 feet of Main being cathodically protected by impressed current rectifiers;#

(3)at least two Test Points for any system with over 100 feet of Main;#

(4)distributed throughout each cathodic protection system;#

(5)at locations suitable to assess the extremities of each cathodic protection system;#

(6)adequate to demonstrate the functionality of bonds;#

(7)not within groundbed or anode gradients, as practicable; and#

(8)at each metallic Conduit greater than 10 feet in length with metallic contacts for both the Conduit and the Main.#

(c)A Test Point shall be added in any location where Pipe under cathodic protection is exposed to repair a corrosion leak, unless a Test Point currently exists within 500 feet of the leak.#
