Event Date 22 – 23 OCTOBER, Location – Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Dr. Stefan Winnik, author of EFC55 Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Guidelines, has retired and entered into an agreement with KAEFER to ensure the continuation of his successful CUI training course and knowledge share. New trainers Dr. Clare Watt and Dr. Steve Paterson continue in the spirit of Stefan and EFC55 and have brought the course content up to date.
About CUI
Corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) refers to the external corrosion of piping and vessels that occurs underneath externally clad/jacketed insulation as a result of the penetration of water. By its very nature CUI tends to remain undetected until the insulation and cladding/jacketing is removed to allow inspection or when leaks occur. CUI is a common problem shared by the refining, petrochemical, power, industrial, onshore and offshore industries.
