Corrosion Engineering: Insulation and Fireproofing Material July 27, 2009

BACKGROUND

Insulation materials have been applied to piping and process equipments to increase efficiency by maintaining process temperature (prevent heat losses), protecting from fire, and preventing external corrosion. During applications, materials degradation due to corrosion under insulation has been found and caused serious damage to the equipment. The damages are aroused from either improper insulation design or improper insulation materials. Understanding the corrosion mechanism and the application of insulation on piping and process equipment is very important to avoid failure of the equipments.

This training will focus on corrosion failure types, especially corrosion under insulation; the insulation design, and insulation materials.

To achieve the practical application of the course, the course materials have been prepared based on internationally recognized sources, such as ASM Handbook, NACE standard, API standard, and NORSOK standard.
