They are mainly used for pipeline kilometer indication, cathodic protection effectiveness, and detection of operating parameters. The test piles are designed as multi-functional test piles for detecting cathodic protection parameters. They are indispensable devices in pipeline management and maintenance. They are deployed along the pipeline according to their testing functions and are used to detect pipeline potential, current, and insulation performance.
[0003] The "Pipeline Cathodic Protection Test Pile" disclosed in application number "202322341060.7" includes a test pile body, a connecting block, and a fixing seat. The lower end of the test pile body passes through the connecting block, and the lower end of the connecting block extends into the upper middle part of the fixing seat. A limiting hole is provided in the middle of the side of the connecting block where it extends into the fixing seat. A fastening structure is provided inside the fixing seat, and part of the fastening structure extends into the limiting hole of the connecting block and abuts against the lower side of the test pile body. This utility model forms a whole by sequentially inserting the test pile body, connecting block, and fixing seat, and by inserting the fastener in the fixing seat into the limiting hole on the connecting block and abutting against the test pile body, thus forming a solid, stable, and non-tipping structure.
