Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is found to be a major problem for insulated piping systems in refineries, petrochemical and gas processing plants. Since those pipes carry hydrocarbons or other dangerous process fluids, gradual thinning due to CUI may cause the pipes to leak, leading to a hazardous...
