Materials Performance – Reduce CUI Risk by Combining TSA with Continuous Monitoring

Thermally sprayed aluminum (TSA) is widely used as a corrosion protection system for assets in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors. Long-life applications tolerate high temperatures while performing well in chloride-rich and marine environments.

But small areas of TSA deterioration, often due to application quality issues or environmental factors, can go unchecked and escalate into a costly maintenance problem.

This article explains how continuous corrosion under insulation (CUI) monitoring systems complement TSA. While TSA can help prevent CUI, continuous monitoring data detects and predicts high-risk areas early. Operators are increasingly appreciating the value of using both systems to maximize their protection from costly CUI issues.
