Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Guidelines: Technical Guide for Managing CUI

Corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) refers to the external corrosion of piping and vessels that occurs underneath externally clad/jacketed insulation as a result of the penetration of water. By its very nature CUI tends to remain undetected until the insulation and cladding/jacketing is removed to allow inspection or when leaks occur. CUI is a common problem shared by the refining, petrochemical, power, industrial, onshore and offshore industries. In the first edition of this book published in 2008, the EFC Working Parties WP13 and WP15 engaged together to provide guidelines on managing CUI with contributions from a number of European refining, petrochemical and offshore companies. The guidelines were intended for use on all plants and installation that contain insulated vessels, piping and equipment. The guidelines cover a risk-based inspection methodology for CUI, inspection techniques and recommended best practice for mitigating CUI, including design of plant and equipment, coatings and the use of thermal spray techniques, types of insulation, cladding/jacketing materials and protection guards. This newly revised edition builds upon the success of the first (2) editions and has been published in order to continue to serve the community providing a fully up to date, practical source of information on how to monitor and manage insulated systems. Revised and updated technical guidance on managing CUI provided by EFC Working Parties 13 and 15Discusses the standard approach to Risk Based Inspection MethodologyPresents the argument that CUI is everywhere, and looks at mitigating actions which can be started from the onsetIncludes a wide array of concepts of corrosion mitigation INDICE: 1.
