2. Preventing corrosion under thermal insulation
A particularly detailed and well-documented presentation of methods for preventing corrosion under thermal insulation can be found in the guide published by the European Corrosion Federation . The main points are repeated here, starting from the metal surface at risk of corrosion and moving progressively away from it.
2.1 Choice of material
For new installations, the prevention of corrosion under insulation can go as far as the choice of metal itself, by opting for a stainless grade rather than a non- or low-alloy grade. This choice requires consideration of...
