1. Mechanisms of Corrosion Under Thermal Insulation
SCROLL TO TOP
1.1.1 Presence of Liquid Water Beneath the Insulation System
The essential prerequisite for corrosion under insulation to occur is the presence of liquid water in contact with the metal surface for a sufficient period of time for the effects of corrosion to become apparent. The ingress of liquid water into contact with insulated metal walls generally requires a leak in the insulation system.
There are numerous possible modes of infiltration or sources of liquid water:...
