METHODS FOR MITIGATION OF CORROSION UNDER INSULATION (C.U.I.) AND OTHER CREVICE CORROSION

Corrosion of steel operating equipment and piping under insulation has been recognized as an important problem in the ammonia refrigeration, chilled water, chemical and petroleum industry. Insulation is a necessary component and there to function in three ways: save energy, control process temperatures, and protect workers from high wall temperatures. The environment under insulation, the CUI environment, can be hot, wet, and promotes aggressive corrosion. The American Petroleum Institute has directives that address the CUI problem and detail a program of identification, maintenance, and remediation.

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) – Differences in Gel Coating Technology

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) of steel operating equipment and piping is recognized as an important problem in the ammonia refrigeration, chilled water, chemical, and petroleum industries. A systems approach to CUI includes the correct material selection and design of the jacketing, insulation, and coating. This approach will help prevent CUI, but many corrosion engineers would agree that electrolytes will eventually find their way into even the best system. Selecting the right coating is extremely important, as the coating is the last line of defense for keeping the electrolyte from the metal surface and preventing corrosion.
