NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) coating inspections ensure the longevity and durability of structures and equipment. Coatings are applied to surfaces to protect them from corrosion. What are NACE Coating Inspections? Purpose: To ensure that protective coatings are applied...
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a significant issue in industries where insulated pipes and equipment are common. It occurs when moisture gets trapped under the insulation, leading to corrosion of the underlying metal. Here’s a detailed look at what CUI is, its causes, effects, and mitigation...
And What Makes Cathodic Protection So Awesome? Cathodic protection is a key technology for protecting against corrosion because it can be easy to apply and can be monitored 24/7. It’s as near to a set-it-and-see-it method for keeping buried, immersed or steel in concrete metal structures safe from...
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced method of ultrasonic testing that has applications in many industrial sectors including manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace, and more. Unlike conventional ultrasonic testing, PAUT uses multiple ultrasonic elements and electronic time delays...
The hidden dangers of corrosion under insulation (CUI) span the oil and gas industry from upstream operations to midstream infrastructure and downstream applications, including the production of LNG.
