Overview

This Level 1 and 2 combined package for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) provides the foundation knowledge and competency required for visual inspection of asset integrity threats. It also provides a guide to managing the risk in onshore and offshore facilities.

Description

Who should attend:

The CUI e-Learning package will be useful to Inspection personnel; Plant inspectors; Offshore inspection Engineers; Inspectors; NDT Technicians; but is also relevant to other non-inspection personnel, such as FM; maintenance; operations or other asset management teams. It is applicable to both onshore and offshore facilities.

Course Overview

  • What is CUI?
  • Where does CUI occur?
  • Why does CUI occur?
  • Consequences of a CUI failure
  • Costs of CUI
  • What is the mechanism of CUI?
  • Cyclic changes of temperature
  • Corrosion mechanisms
  • Potential locations of CUI
  • Signs of CUI
  • De-lagging and Safe de-lagging
  • Scab
  • Remedial works
  • Reinstatement of insulation
  • Why insulation is applied
  • Why passive fire protection (PFP)?
  • Insulation types
  • Mitigation of future risk of CUI

As a result of this online course, it is expected that personnel will be more confident that they can find asset integrity threats relating to corrosion under insulation that may be present on their plant.

Completion time

1-2 hours

Level 2

Every year operators must budget for the control of CUI. Without understanding the CUI risk on the plant or platform, CUI budgets can often be misjudged or used inefficiently.
