Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
Course Overview:
- Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a severe form of localized, external corrosion that most commonly occurs on insulated carbon and low alloy steel and stainless steel equipment that operate at high temperatures at or below 175°F.
- CUI is most prevalent in the chemical/petrochemical, refining, offshore, and marine/maritime industries. If left undetected, CUI can result in catastrophic leaks or explosions, equipment failure, prolonged downtime due to repair or replacement, and safety and environmental concerns.
- This course introduces the theoretical and practical aspects of preventing, managing and inspecting CUI.
Course completion:
- Successful completion of the course is required to earn a training certificate of course completion. Requirements are specific to each course and may include a combination of attendance, daily assessments, activities, knowledge checks.
Learning Outcomes
- Explain what CUI is, including the components of a typical CUI system and why it is required in a range of industrial settings
- Explain the importance of lab testing on the selection of CUI system components
- Define the role protective coatings play in the prevention of CUI and outline the factors that need to be considered when selecting a coating for application under insulation
- Identify the common types of coatings applied under insulation and describe their advantages and disadvantages
- Outline the factors that need to be considered when selecting insulation
- Describe the types of insulation and jacketing commonly used within CUI Protective Systems
- Describe the different types of spray-on insulation and their advantages and disadvantages
- Identify when passive fire protection is required and outline the steps to minimize the likelihood of corrosion under fireproofing occurring
- Summarize the differences between intumescent coatings, high density concrete coatings and cementitious coatings
- Explain common design practices used to minimize CUI
- Outline the common steps involved in installing a CUI Protective System
- Recognize common mistakes made during the application of insulation, jacketing, banding, vapor barriers and when sealing entry/exit points
- Identify the key components of risk-based inspection programs and describe their benefits within a CUI context
- Discuss the inspection methods that can be utilized with and without the removal of the CUI Protective System
