Sophisticated Corrosion Under Pipe Support (CUPS) Inspection of Asset Integrity

Corrosion Under Pipe Support (CUPS) inspection is an important maintenance practice that is used to identify concealed corrosion at pipe support points of contact. These are very vulnerable places because trapped moisture, debris, and poor accessibility can cause structural failures and expensive downtime. Professional corrosion under the support of pipe support (CUPS) inspection is used to help industries (oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power plants) maintain the integrity of their assets and their operational safety. With the help of the newest non-destructive methods of testing (NDT), such as ultrasonic testing or visual inspection, experts are able to determine the degree of corrosion without interfering with the operations. Routine corrosion under pipe support (CUPS) inspection not only ensures that pipelines and other infrastructure are up to standard but also adds to the overall lifespan of the pipelines and other infrastructure. CUPS inspection is an important part of any preventive maintenance plan as it allows businesses to identify potential threats early, plan timely maintenance, curb repair expenses, and improve overall reliability.
