Electrical Continuity Confirm electrical connection between anode tie wire and reinforcing steel by measuring DC resistance (ohm,) or potential (mV) with a multi-meter. Electrical connection is acceptable if the DC resistance measured with multi-meter is less than 1 or the DC potential is less than 1 mV. Confirm electrical continuity of the exposed reinforcing steel within the repair area. If necessary, electrical continuity shall be established with steel tie wire. Electrical continuity between test areas is acceptable if the DC resistance measured with multi-meter is less than 1 or the potential is less than 1 mV. Concrete or Mortar Replacement Pre-wet the concrete surface and the anode units to achieve a saturated surface dry condition, and then complete the repair. Do not soak the anode units for greater than 20 minutes. Repair materials with significant polymer modification and/or silica fume content may have high resistivity. Similarly, if bonding agents are used, they shall have suitable conductivity. Insulating materials such as epoxy bonding agents shall not be used unless otherwise called for in the design. Following normal concrete repair procedures complete the repair with the repair material, taking care not to create any air voids around the anode. END OF SECTION
