SY0066-1992 Nondestructive measurement method for thickness of pipeline anticorrosion layer (magnetic method) 3 Method Overview
3.1 The test piece is immersed in a highly conductive alkaline electrolyte, and the anticorrosion layer is subjected to electrical stress. The electrical stress is obtained by a magnesium anode or a forced current device. Before the test, the anticorrosion layer should be drilled into a defect hole. 3.2 In method A, a magnesium anode is used to provide a potential difference between the test piece and the anode, and no electrical monitoring is performed during the test. After the test, the test results are determined by visually checking the peeling area, that is, the effective adhesion of the anticorrosion layer to the metal surface is evaluated by checking the relative adhesion of the anticorrosion layer.
3.3 In method B, a magnesium anode or a forced current device is used to generate electrical stress, and the current and potential in the circuit are monitored by an instrument during the test. The test results are judged by visually checking the peeling area or detecting the current of the test piece, or both, but there is no correlation between the two methods. The current density value passing through the test piece in this test is much larger than the current density value required for the actual buried pipeline cathodic protection. Therefore, the current passing through the test piece can only be used as a relative indicator for qualitatively judging the peeling of the anti-corrosion layer. 3.4 To ensure the reliability of the test results, any reduction in the relative adhesion of the anti-corrosion layer considered in this test must be caused by electrical stress, and rain is not caused by other reasons. 3.5 The measured value adopts the legal measurement unit and is rounded to three significant digits. 4 Significance and Use
4.1 During the transportation and laying of the pipeline, it is almost inevitable that the anti-corrosion layer will be damaged. After the pipeline is buried, the anti-corrosion layer of the pipeline may be corroded at the damaged part due to the action of soil electrolytes. Normal soil potential and applied cathodic protection potential will cause the anti-corrosion layer to produce new leaks or loosen at the leaks. This test method provides a condition for accelerating the loosening of the anti-corrosion layer, which is used to determine the anti-loosening performance of the anti-corrosion layer.
4.2 The anti-cathodic stripping ability is a performance indicator obtained based on the comparison of the test pieces. Since all types of insulation that are currently used have peeling to some extent, the advantage of this test is that it provides a means of comparing one type of coating with another. Bond strength is more important to the inherent characteristics of some coatings than other properties, and even if two different coatings have the same peeling, it does not mean that they have lost the same anti-corrosion ability. 5 Reagents and materials 5.1 Electrolyte: It is prepared by adding 1% by mass of industrial pure anhydrous sodium chloride, anhydrous sodium sulfate, and anhydrous sodium carbonate to tap water, and it must be prepared before use. 5.2 Sealing materials for the ends of the test piece: Asphalt products, paraffin, epoxy resin, synthetic rubber or plastic can be used. 5.3 Test tank cover: It can be made of plywood or plastic board.

7.3 The end of the pipe extending out of the test slot cover can be supported by a pin passing through the upper end hole and connected to a separate wire for power supply and measurement. All connection points should be firmly connected by soldering, brazing or bolts, and protected and sealed with insulating materials. 7.4 The area from the end seal edge of the test piece to the flooding line is the test area, and the end seal area should not be regarded as the test area. The test piece can use an anti-corrosion pipe of appropriate diameter and length, but the immersion area should not be less than 2.3×10*mm2. When conditions permit, an area of 9.3×10*mm2 is the most suitable.
8 Test piece preparation
8.1 Before making an artificial defect hole, the continuity of the anti-corrosion layer and the effectiveness of the end seal should be checked according to the following requirements. 8.1.1 Immerse the test piece and the metal electrode in the electrolyte, connect one end of the megohmmeter to the test piece, and the other end to the metal electrode, measure the apparent resistance of the test piece, and then swap the connectors of the megohmmeter and measure again. The test result is expressed in megohms (M2). 8.1.2 Disconnect the test piece from the megohmmeter, immerse it for 15 minutes, and then test the apparent resistance of the piece again according to the requirements of 8.1.1. 8.1.3 If the apparent resistance of the test piece decreases significantly after 15 minutes, it indicates that there is a leak in the anti-corrosion layer or the end seal. If the leak is on the anti-corrosion layer, the test piece should be scrapped; if the leak is at the end seal, it should be repaired. After the repair is completed, retest according to the requirements of 8.1.1 and 8.1.2. 8.1.4 The lowest resistance value after immersion for 15 minutes should not be less than 1000M2. If the apparent resistance remains a stable value of less than 1000MQ in the tests before and after immersion for 15 minutes, it can be considered that there are no cracks or defects in the anti-corrosion layer and the test piece can still be used. All resistance test values should be listed in the test report.
8.2 Measure the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer of the test piece according to the provisions of SY0066, and record the average, minimum and maximum values of the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer and the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer at each artificial defect hole.
8.3 Record the original diameter of the artificial defect hole. 9 Test steps of method A
9.1 As shown in Figure 2, immerse the test piece and the anode in the electrolyte and connect them. The middle defect hole or the single defect hole should face away from the anode. Mark the position of the flooding line on the test tank and add water every day to maintain the liquid level. The temperature of the electrolyte should be maintained between 21 and 25°C. 9.2 Before the start and end of the test, the potential between the test piece and the reference electrode should be measured. During the test, the temporary wiring shown in Figure 2 is used, and its potential value should be between -1.44 and -1.55V (CSE). The reference electrode is immersed in the electrolyte only during measurement. 9.3 The test period should be 30d, and can also be 60d or 90d. 9.4 The following tests should be performed immediately after the test ends. 9.4.1 Take out the test piece and rinse the submerged area gently with warm water. Visually check whether there are new leaks in the submerged area and the loosening of the anti-corrosion layer at the edges of all leaks (including artificial defect holes). Record the condition of the anti-corrosion layer, such as color, bubbles, cracks, attachments, etc. 9.4.2 Use the position recommended in Figure 1 and the drilling method of artificial defect holes in 7.2 to drill a new comparison hole on the non-submerged anti-corrosion layer above the submerged line, about 1/2 away from the test tank cover and the submerged line. 9.4.3 Take the comparison hole and the artificial defect hole as the origin, and use a sharp knife to make incisions on the anti-corrosion layer around the hole according to Figure 3. Pay attention to ensure that the anti-corrosion layer is completely cut through to the surface of the steel pipe. 9.4.4 Use the tip of the knife to try to lift the anti-corrosion layer at the comparison hole and the artificial defect hole. Take the adhesion degree of the anti-corrosion layer at the comparison hole as a reference, and define the area of the anti-corrosion layer that is easier to lift or peel than the comparison hole as the peeling area. 9.4.5 Cover the artificial defect hole with translucent coordinate paper to draw the outline of the lifting area, and use a plane planimeter or the method of calculating the number of grids on the coordinate paper to obtain the lifting area of the artificial defect hole. Use the same method to obtain the lifting area of the comparison hole, and the difference between the two is the peeling area. 854

In addition to the tests in accordance with 9.1 to 9.3, the test should also be carried out in accordance with the following requirements. 10.1
SY/T 0037—1997
10.2 If a magnesium anode is used, the wiring shall be carried out according to Figure 4. If a forced current device is used, the wiring shall be carried out according to Figure 5 for a single specimen and according to Figure 6 for multiple specimens.
10.3 Without disconnecting the anode and the specimen, use a DC voltmeter to measure the potential E2 between the specimen and the reference electrode.10.4 Measure the current I1 between the specimen and the anode. It can be determined by measuring the voltage drop on the standard resistor with a DC voltmeter, or by a zero-resistance ammeter. That is, first connect the zero-resistance ammeter to both ends of the switch in the test circuit, and then disconnect the switch for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the switch should be reconnected and the ammeter should be removed. 10.5 Measure the polarization potential E1: Connect one end of the DC voltmeter to the reference electrode and the other end to the test piece. Disconnect the connection between the anode and the test piece. Watch the voltmeter closely. As the pointer of the voltmeter drops, it will pause at the polarization value. The voltage value at this pause point is E. 10.6 The electrical measurement value at the beginning of the test should be the average of the measurement results on the second and third days after immersion. The electrical measurement value on the day of immersion shall not be used for the calculation of characteristic values.
10.7 Electrical measurements should be made during and at the end of the test. The measured value should be the average of the measurement results on the specified date and the previous day. 855
