Corrosion under insulation (CUI)

▪ CUI has been recognized for over 35 years
as a major problem in the Oil & Gas industry
causing:
– Unexpected accidents
– Mechanical failures
– Operational shutdowns
▪ Investment in costly monitoring and inspection
techniques and expensive maintenance
programs to ensure the safety of assets.
▪ Coated equipment may also be subject to
thermal cycling, which can be very aggressive
to many coating types

Introduction – What is CUI ?

”A severe form of localized corrosion due to entrapped water
under the insulation layer of piping and vessels”

•CUI takes place out of sight

•Reason for costly unexpected shutdowns/repairs
•Reason for accidents

Water from external sources
The CUI mechanisms will penetrate weak spots in the
cladding
As the pipe is heated the water will try
to escape.
Most of the water cannot escape and is
trapped below the cladding.

Cold pipe Hot pipe

As pipe is cooled water will
be drawn back towards the
steel pipe = risk of CUI

Problems with existing coatings

Commonly found Coating is unsuitable for the service temperature

problems with Lack of heat resistance results in micro-cracking
existing coatings Cross linking at high temperatures results in internal stresses and poorer anti-
specified for use corrosion performance at lower temperatures (cycling)
beneath insulation Insufficient durability results in damage prior to installation
include: Metallic coatings generally require costly installation

What determines performance of CUI coatings

Two main properties determines the
performance of CUI coatings: Phenolic epoxies
• Anticorrosive performance Polysiloxanes

Corrosion protection
• Heat resistance

The corrosion protection of coatings

usually decreases with increasing
heat resistance.
