Corrosion of metals and alloys - Determination of AC corrosion - Protection criteria (ISO 18086:2015)

ISO 18086:2015 is applicable to buried cathodically-protected pipeline that is influenced by AC traction systems and/or AC power lines.
In the presence of AC interference, the protection criteria given in ISO 15589 1 are not sufficient to demonstrate that the steel is being protected against corrosion.
ISO 18086:2015 provides limits, measurement procedures, mitigation measures, and information to deal with long term AC interference for AC voltages at frequencies between 16,7 and 60 Hz and the evaluation of AC corrosion likelihood.
It deals with the possibility of AC corrosion of metallic pipelines due to AC interferences caused by inductive, conductive or capacitive coupling with AC power systems and the maximum tolerable limits of these interference effects. It takes into account the fact that this is a long-term effect, which occurs during normal operating conditions of the AC power system.
It does not cover the safety issues associated with AC voltages on pipelines. These are covered in national standards and regulations.

Corrosion des métaux et alliages - Détermination de la corrosion occasionnée par les courants alternatifs - Critères de protection (ISO 18086:2015)

L'ISO 18086:2015 est applicable aux canalisations enterrées qui sont protégées cathodiquement et influencées par des systèmes de traction à courant alternatif et/ou des lignes électriques haute tension en courant alternatif.
En présence d'une influence due aux courants alternatifs, les critères de protection spécifiés dans l'ISO 15589 1 sont insuffisants pour démontrer que l'acier est protégé contre la corrosion.
L'ISO 18086:2015 spécifie les limites, les modes opératoires de mesurage, les mesures d'atténuation et les informations relatives à l'influence en régime de fonctionnement permanent des courants alternatifs pour les tensions de courant alternatif à des fréquences comprises entre 16,7 Hz et 60 Hz et à l'évaluation du risque de corrosion engendré par ces courants.
Elle traite de la possible corrosion des canalisations métalliques due à l'influence des courants alternatifs provoquée par le couplage inductif, conductif ou capacitif avec des systèmes à courant alternatif, ainsi que des limites maximales admissibles des effets de cette influence. Elle prend en compte le fait qu'il s'agit d'un effet à long terme qui se produit uniquement lors de conditions normales d'exploitation du système électrique à courant alternatif.
Elle ne traite pas des problèmes de sécurité liés aux tensions de courant alternatif sur les canalisations. Ceux-ci sont traités dans les normes et réglementations nationales.

Korozija kovin in zlitin - Ugotavljanje nastanka AC korozije - Merila zaščite (ISO 18086:2015)

Standard ISO 18086:2015 se uporablja za vkopane katodno zaščitene cevovode pod vplivom izmeničnih vlečnih sistemov in/ali izmeničnih napajalnih vodov.
Če je prisotna izmenična motnja, merila zaščite, podana v standardu ISO 15589 1, ne zadostujejo kot dokaz, da je jeklo zaščiteno pred korozijo.
Standard ISO 18086:2015 določa omejitve, merilne postopke, ukrepe za ublažitev in informacije za obravnavo dolgoročne izmenične motnje za izmenične napetosti s frekvenco 16,7–60 Hz ter oceno verjetnosti nastanka korozije.
Obravnava verjetnost nastanka AC korozije kovinskih cevovodov zaradi izmeničnih motenj, ki jih povzroča induktivni, konduktivni ali kapacitivni sklop s sistemom za izmenično napajanje, in največje sprejemljive omejitve vplivov teh motenj. Upošteva, da gre za dolgoročni vpliv, do katerega pride med običajnimi delovnimi pogoji sistema za izmenično napajanje.
Standard ne zajema varnostnih vprašanj v zvezi z izmenično napetostjo v cevovodih. Varnostna vprašanja obravnavajo nacionalni standardi in predpisi.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Introduction
This International Standard has incorporated criteria and thresholds together with experience gained
from the most recent data. Various countries have a very different approach to the prevention of
AC corrosion depending primarily on the DC interference situation. These different approaches are
taken into account in two different ways
— either in presence of “low” on-potentials, which allows a certain level of AC voltage (up to 15 V), or
— in presence of “high” on-potentials (with DC stray current interference on the pipeline for instance)
which requires the reduction of the AC voltage towards the lowest possible levels.
This International Standard also gives some parameters to consider when evaluating the AC corrosion
likelihood, as well as detailed measurement techniques, mitigation measures, and measurements to
carry out for commissioning of any AC corrosion mitigation system. Note that Annex E proposes other
parameters and thresholds that require further validation based on practical experiences.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18086:2015(E)
Corrosion of metals and alloys — Determination of AC
corrosion — Protection criteria
1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to buried cathodically-protected pipeline that is influenced by
AC traction systems and/or AC power lines.
In the presence of AC interference, the protection criteria given in ISO 15589-1 are not sufficient to
demonstrate that the steel is being protected against corrosion.
This International Standard provides limits, measurement procedures, mitigation measures, and
information to deal with long term AC interference for AC voltages at frequencies between 16,7 and
60 Hz and the evaluation of AC corrosion likelihood.
This International Standard deals with the possibility of AC corrosion of metallic pipelines due to
AC interferences caused by inductive, conductive or capacitive coupling with AC power systems and the
maximum tolerable limits of these interference effects. It takes into account the fact that this is a long-
term effect, which occurs during normal operating conditions of the AC power system.
This International Standard does not cover the safety issues associated with AC voltages on pipelines.
These are covered in national standards and regulations (see e.g. EN 50443).
