Corrosion Under Insulation
This document summarizes a presentation on corrosion under insulation (CUI) and coatings for mitigating CUI. It discusses how CUI occurs due to moisture ingress under insulation and temperature cycling. Several coating types are described that can provide barrier protection for steel under insulation, including epoxy phenolic, silicone acrylic, thermal spray aluminum, titanium modified inorganic copolymers, and inert multipolymeric matrix paints. Test methods for evaluating CUI coatings like cyclic pipe tests and CUI chambers are also summarized. Real-world case studies show how some coatings have performed well under long-term cyclic service conditions.

- 9. Why is thereis a problem? • No insulation is 100% waterproof • The corrosion rate under wet insulation can be up to 20 times greater than the rate at ambient operating conditions • Corrosion is hidden • Nothing runs above 212o F forever • Equipment temperatures cycle • Inspection can be limited and costly • Reluctance to shut down unit • Budgetary concerns

Implications of CUI CriticalSteel Temperature Ranges for corrosion: • C-Steel 25F → 302F (Greatest Risk of Corrosion) • S-Steel 122F→ 302F (Greatest Risk of E.S.C.C. ) The highest corrosion rates are normally experienced in operational conditions between 140F to 250F Moisture ingress into broken or compromised insulation can occur from 32F to 302F

- #11 E.S.C.C. = External Stress Corrosion Cracking Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the growth of cracks in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature in the case of metals. SCC is highly chemically specific in that certain alloys are likely to undergo SCC only when exposed to a small number of chemical environments. The chemical environment that causes SCC for a given alloy is often one which is only mildly corrosive to the metal otherwise.
