Control Corrosion Under Insulation with Bellis Australia's High Quality Insulation Plugs

One way to minimise the damaging effects of corrosion under insulation (CUI) of pipes and other equipment is to install high quality insulation plugs. Drain plugs and inspection plugs serve as a backup protection when metal jacketing, caulking and sealing have failed to do its function and moisture has penetrated the insulation systems.
In the LNG and petrochemical industries where moisture and temperatures can reach an approximate 170°C, corrosion under insulation is prevalent and the hardest hard to prevent. The fact is, no matter how many insulation precautions are taken, water invariably infiltrates the system. If this occurrence is left unnoticed, it can lead to process leakage, accidents and unnecessary shutdowns.
High quality insulation plugs, such as Temati drain plugs and vessel inspection plugs, help monitor the condition of pipes and equipment and drain moisture from the insulation system.
Temati High Quality Insulation Drain Plug


The high quality insulation plugs are installed in the outer jacket of an insulating system. Its main function is to drain out moisture or water buildup that penetrated the insulation system. The insulation drain plugs decrease the risk of corrosion under insulation by not only allowing the moisture buildup to drain freely but also, by enabling moisture to evaporate from the insulation system.
Temati drain plugs are made of durable Bergamid B700 UF Black, a flame retardant, halogen free material that exhibits excellent weather and UV resistance. In addition, its tough physical composition makes it impervious to most kinds of acids and bases.
As a general rule of thumb, Temati drain plugs are installed at the six o'clock position at every 3-metre interval at the lowest point of the pipeline.
Temati Vessel Inspection Plug

The Temati Vessel Inspection Plug (V.I.P.) is designed to make monitoring of insulation systems easy and efficient. It also prevents corrosion under insulation by creating a tight seal, thus preventing water ingress.
