Overview

This Level 1 and 2 combined package for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) provides the foundation knowledge and competency required for visual inspection of asset integrity threats. It also provides a guide to managing the risk in onshore and offshore facilities.

Description

Who should attend:

The CUI e-Learning package will be useful to Inspection personnel; Plant inspectors; Offshore inspection Engineers; Inspectors; NDT Technicians; but is also relevant to other non-inspection personnel, such as FM; maintenance; operations or other asset management teams. It is applicable to both onshore and offshore facilities.

Course Overview

  • What is CUI?
  • Where does CUI occur?
  • Why does CUI occur?
  • Consequences of a CUI failure
  • Costs of CUI
  • What is the mechanism of CUI?
  • Cyclic changes of temperature
  • Corrosion mechanisms
  • Potential locations of CUI
  • Signs of CUI
  • De-lagging and Safe de-lagging
  • Scab
  • Remedial works
  • Reinstatement of insulation
  • Why insulation is applied
  • Why passive fire protection (PFP)?
  • Insulation types
  • Mitigation of future risk of CUI

As a result of this online course, it is expected that personnel will be more confident that they can find asset integrity threats relating to corrosion under insulation that may be present on their plant.

Completion time

1-2 hours

Level 2

Every year operators must budget for the control of CUI. Without understanding the CUI risk on the plant or platform, CUI budgets can often be misjudged or used inefficiently. This online course was developed by INSPECTEGRITY in a project supported by the Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) and will be enable delegates to:

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
