CATHODIC SHIELDING TESTS

Outside Testing of Polyguard RD-6TM

  1. "Investigation of the Shielding Behavior of Two Pipeline Tape Wraps" - Final Report R335-01, CC Technologies Laboratory, Dublin, Ohio, March 2001. This testing compared a conventional solid film backed coating (Polyguard 610) with Polyguard RD-6™
  2. "Fail/Safe Tape System Used in Conjunction with Cathodic Protection", Materials Performance - June 2004, by Richard Norsworthy, describes internal and external testing to determine Fail/Safe properties of Polyguard RD-6™.

 

 

  1. Conductivity testing was performed on RD-6™ backing and solid PE film. (ITI 91-005)

  1. Resistivity testing was performed on RD-6™ geotextile backing. (ITI 94-157)
