AC Coupon
SKU: ACC3A
AC Coupon for Permanent Burial.
The ACC3 AC Coupon is designed to help pipeline operators assess AC corrosion and shock hazards on buried pipelines exposed to induced AC voltage from nearby high-voltage power lines. Developed by Corrosion Service based on the latest research, the ACC3 provides more accurate monitoring of AC corrosion risk using customizable coating thicknesses and simulated coating holidays. Suitable for new and existing pipelines, it supports assessments based on NACE SP21424-2018 and SP0177-2019 criteria and helps operators avoid unnecessary AC mitigation while remaining sensitive to high-risk conditions.

Key Benefits
- Make informed AC mitigation decisions: Accurately assess AC corrosion risk to help avoid unnecessary mitigation costs while identifying areas requiring action.
- Monitor changing pipeline conditions: Regular measurements provide historical and current operating data to support ongoing risk assessment.
- Evaluate mitigation effectiveness: Use coupon measurements to identify areas requiring AC mitigation and validate installed mitigation systems.
- Improve corrosion rate simulation: Customizable coating thicknesses and coupon design allow improved simulation of coating holidays and lateral corrosion pit extension beneath the coating.
- Simplify integration and monitoring: Compatible with remote monitoring systems, conventional survey equipment, and new or existing test stations.
