Cathodic protection systems must be tested within how many months of installation?

3 months
6 months
12 months
24 months

The correct answer is: 6 months

Cathodic protection systems are crucial for preventing corrosion in underground storage tanks and their associated piping. The testing requirement of these systems within six months of installation is established to verify their effectiveness and ensure that they are functioning properly from the outset. This initial testing period is important due to the potential for soil conditions, electrical interference, or component issues that could compromise the protection system. Conducting this test within this timeframe allows for timely adjustments or repairs, ensuring that the integrity of the storage tank system is maintained. Timely verification also helps compliance with regulatory requirements and protects the environment from potential leaks or failures in the system. Regular monitoring and testing after this initial period further support the longevity and effectiveness of the cathodic protection system.
