From page 155...
... The opposite of a cathode. appurtenance or fitting: Items including but not limited to valves, bends, tees, glands, restrained joints and joint restraints, couplings, spool pieces, miscellaneous piping, tapping saddles, blow-off valves, or hydrants, including metallic glands.
From page 156...
... corrosion monitoring system: A system of test stations, joint bonds, and insula tors that provides an electrically continuous pipeline that is electrically insulated from other structures and provided with test stations at specified locations to allow monitoring of various testing methods, including pipeline potential, galvanic anode outputs, electrical continuity, electrical isolation, and cathodic protection testing. coupons: Use of two small bare pieces (coupons)
From page 157...
... ferrous metallic pipe: Any pipe or fitting made of steel or iron, or pipe containing steel or iron as a principal structural material (such as steel, ductile iron, and cast iron) , except reinforced concrete pipe or stainless steel.
From page 158...
... 158 Corrosion Prevention Standards for Ductile Iron Pipe test station: Insulated lead wire connections to the structure, which are brought to a test station terminal board or box in order to allow an electrical connection to be made to the structure for above-grade corrosion and cathodic protection testing.
