David Shong has spent his entire career in the construction materials industry and developed an early passion for insulation. He has worked in the industrial insulation field since 2014.
This article, brought to you by David Shong and Jack Bittner, highlights the limitations of a hydrophobic-only approach to prevent corrosion under insulation.
They say that April showers bring May flowers, but this is not the case in the Seattle area where I live. April showers bring May, June and July showers, and occasional sun breaks three days in August. However, my role in...
To implement an effective strategy to prevent CUI, engineers, specifiers and facility operators need to consider the elements of an entire insulation system, from the material (rigid and non-rigid), to the jacketing, to the system specifications.
Absolutely. The corrosion range has kind of been established from 100 to 350°F (38 to 177°C) for mild steel, and 350°F is really kind of the upper limit where
