Record the measured voltage drop and current for each joint of the test from described herein and
calculate the bond resistance in accordance with the following formula:
Where:
R=E/I
R = Resistance of the joint bond.
E = Measured voltage drop across the joint, in volts.
I = test current applied to the pipe test span, in amperes.
