Data now on display – see Fig. 21 right –
is as before:
DEPTH
COVER
CURRENT
DISTANCE (16m)
THIS POINT (#001)
LAST POINT (#000)
CHAINAGE (16m)
Plus newly displayed data on this screen:
CONDUCTANCE (µS/m
2
– micro-siemens per sq.metre
RESISTANCE (k¿/ m
2
– kilohms per sq.metre
these relate to the coating condition allowing for pipe diameter and wall thickness.
and finally - ATTENUATION
The attenuation value (mb/m or mb/ft) is the absolute rate of loss of signal current from,
the pipeline over the section #000 - #001. It is independent of the value of the initial
