Corrosion Under Insulation Course

Modules included:

• Corrosion Fundamentals
• Forms of Corrosion

Explore the science behind corrosion, the different corrosion mechanisms that affect metallic assets and the methods used to control and manage corrosion.

Modules included:

• The History of Insulation
• Introduction to Insulation
  Design Considerations to
• Minimise CUI
• Jacketing

Learn how insulation systems function, the role of insulation materials and jacketing, and how effective design can help minimise the risk of CUI.

Modules included:

• Conducting Insulation Surveys
• CUI Detection Methods

Develop knowledge of inspection planning, insulation surveys and the techniques used to detect and assess Corrosion Under Insulation.

Modules included:

• Coating Types and Systems
• Coatings for CUI
• Introduction to Thermal Metal Spraying

Understand the protective coating systems, thermal spray technologies and corrosion protection strategies used to safeguard assets operating under insulation.

Modules included:

• Maintenance and Repair – Part 1
• Maintenance and Repair – Part 2

Learn best practices for maintaining insulated assets, planning repairs and implementing long-term strategies to reduce the impact and cost of CUI.

Modules included:

• Industry Best Practice
• Standards – Testing
• Standards/Code of Practice – Insulation
• Further Reading

Review the key industry standards, guidance documents and best practice recommendations used to manage, inspect and mitigate Corrosion Under Insulation.

The course is suitable for inspectors, engineers, maintenance professionals, asset integrity personnel and others responsible for insulated equipment, pipework and structures.

You will learn why CUI occurs, corrosion fundamentals, insulation systems, protective coatings, design considerations, detection methods, surveys, maintenance, repair and industry best practices.

The course provides specialist knowledge for professionals working with corrosion, coatings, inspection, insulation, maintenance and asset integrity.

It is particularly valuable for those responsible for identifying, preventing or managing CUI.

The programme includes approximately 24 hours of online study over a 12-month access period, followed by a monitored online multiple-choice final examination.

CUI is a significant concern across oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power, marine, offshore and other industries where insulated pipework and equipment are used.

Successful candidates receive a Certificate of Achievement as a Corrosion Under Insulation Specialist, approved by Lloyd's Register.

Specialist CUI knowledge can strengthen your skills in inspection, maintenance and asset integrity and support progression into specialist corrosion, inspection and integrity roles.
