Native Potential Survey

Native potential is a close interval survey method used to establish a baseline for determining the level of cathodic protection for a structure. A native potential survey measures the electrical potential of the structure before cathodic protection is applied. Native potential does not determine if corrosion is taking place or the level of corrosion. Once current is applied to the pipeline it is never again native.

A depolarized survey may be used to establish base corrosion data if a native potential survey is not possible.
