The Role of Cathodic Protection Test Posts in Monitoring Pipeline Integrity

[2025-11-06]In any cathodic protection (CP) system, continuous monitoring is critical to ensure long-term effectiveness and asset integrity. One of the most essential components for monitoring is the Cathodic Protection Test Post — a simple yet vital device that provides accurate potential measurement and system performance verification.

At KIG, our test posts are designed for underground pipelines, tanks, and marine structures, providing easy access for measuring pipe-to-soil potential, current flow, and other diagnostic data.

By integrating our test posts with the overall SACP or ICCP system, operators can efficiently detect changes in protection levels, locate coating defects, and identify stray current interference before corrosion damage occurs.

As part of KIG’s one-stop cathodic protection solution, we supply complete test post systems along with reference electrodes, junction boxes, and anodes.
