Looking under the Covers for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) with the C-arm

https://youtu.be/RGOL01FhIbw From food processing to refineries, 60 – 80% of pipe maintenance costs have been attributed to Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI, see Brian J. Fitzgerald et al, Strategies to Prevent Corrosion Under Insulation in Petrochemical Industry Piping, NACE-03029, CORROSION 2003). One tool that we use in our CUI combat is the C-arm radiographic system (also called RTR, or real time
