Preparing for Close-Interval Survey

Paper 09126 "Preparing for Close-Interval Survey" (download $10 for NACE members, $13 for non-members) was presented at the Corrosion/2009 Close-Interval Survey Symposium. The paper was based on a Feb, 1998 Materials Performance article titled “Close Interval Potential Surveys—Planning, Execution, Results” by Robin Pawson. The paper updates the topic for new technology and direct assessment. More information can be found in NACE SP0207-2007 “Performing Close-Interval Potential Surveys on Buried or Submerged Metallic Pipelines” (free download for NACE members) published in 2007.
