One of the damage mechanisms experienced by insulated piping systems in refineries and petrochemical plants are corrosion under insulation (CUI). CUI is found to be a major problem for insulated pipes as it becomes even worse as the pipes age. Gradual metal loss may cause the pipe to leak or in the...
