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.
