There is renewed interest in the use of corrosion coupons for monitoring catholically protected pipelines. The resurgence in interest was prompted by the need to determine the {minus}850 mV (Cu/CuSO{sub 4}) polarized potential recommended by NACE International RP0169-96 where traditional methods (e.g., current interruption) may not be feasible or practical. A variety of coupon sizes, shapes, orientations, and means of measurement have been developed over the years, with many in use today around the world. The results from a field study on operating pipelines using coupons of two different sizes (49 and 4.2 cm{sup 2}) in two widely different soil environments are presented, and correlations between the cathodic protection parameters of on-potential, instant-off potential, IR drop, and polarization on the coupons and pipes are discussed. Factors controlling the relationships are analyzed and some limitations in the use of coupons are considered.
