Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

In the simplest terms, Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is any type of corrosion that occurs due to moisture present on the external surface of insulated equipment. The damage/attack can be caused by one of multiple factors, and can occur in equipment operating at ambient, low,...
Mechanical Integrity (MI)

Mechanical Integrity (MI) can be defined as the management of critical process equipment to ensure it is designed and installed correctly, and that it operates and is maintained properly (i.e. no leaks and all elements are fit for service). A mechanical integrity program should...
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is an analysis methodology and process that, as opposed to condition-based inspection, requires qualitative or quantitative assessment of the probability of failure (PoF) and the consequence of failure (CoF) associated with each equipment item, piping...

Webinar Overview

Owner-operators understand that insulation systems are an essential part of every facility’s mechanical integrity (MI) program and ensuring industrial operations run as efficiently and sustainably as possible. However, it can be difficult to know the intricate details surrounding the MI of insulation systems including how to prevent water ingress and inhibit corrosion to maintain the thermal integrity of the insulation system.

Join us as Inspectioneering teams up with Johns Manville for our webinar, Mechanical Integrity Considerations for Your Insulation System. This panel discussion will feature Inspectioneering's Chief Editor, Greg Alvarado, and Johns Manville's Product Development Engineer, Marybeth Jones, and National Specification Manager, Scott Sinclair. The panelists will discuss the following topics:

Understanding insulation systems
Relevant industry documents
Key insulation considerations
How insulation plays a role in RBI
