For decades, corrosion under insulation (CUI) has plagued owners and operators in process-heavy industries like petroleum refining and petrochemicals. The ingress and migration of water through insulation and onto the metal surfaces of piping, vessels, and other plant equipment can lead to a corrosive attack that causes leakages or ruptures, process stoppages, or even a shutdown of an entire plant to make repairs. A CUI event can negatively impact the plant's health, safety, and environment (HSE) metrics and damage the company's reputation.
