API 570 Piping System Corrosion Rate and Remaining Life Assessment

We conduct Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) surveys throughout the UK, addressing one of the most critical integrity threats faced by the oil and gas industry today. Water ingress can damage pipework and other vulnerable steel components, but preventing corrosion beneath existing insulation materials remains a significant challenge. 

The process of removing and reinstalling insulation is labor-intensive, costly, and often unnecessary, as the underlying substrate may still be in good condition. Our API 570 Piping Inspectors manage the entire process, removing only the minimum amount of insulation needed to compile a comprehensive and accurate report. 

We use Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) technology, one of the most effective and efficient methods for assessing the severity of CUI with minimal intervention. This approach reduces the need for costly insulation removal and replacement in many cases. Ensure full compliance with thorough examinations conducted by our fully qualified API 570 Inspectors and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).
