This paper outlines field procedures and data analysis requirements for the use of non-invasive procedures to evaluate the suitability of tanks for upgrading with cathodic protection. The non-invasive evaluation procedure is one of the three alternative means of assessing USTs, and there are specific procedures described for each of the assessment procedures which are detailed in ES40-94. The UST owner/operator and corrosion engineer should recognize that there are accept/reject guidelines in the standard, and that many existing underground storage tanks will not be found suitable for upgrading.
