Prevent corrosion under insulation
Protect your pipelines and critical infrastructure from corroding with Fluves CORROSION.
Instantly detect the risk for corrosion under insulation
Fluves CORROSION is your solution against corroding of your infrastructure. It monitors your infrastructure 24/7 to detect the problem at an early stage or prevent it altogether. This allows you to save on maintenance costs and extend the lifetime of your industrial assets.
The cure for corrosion
Here’s why Fluves CORROSION is the preferred solution for corrosion under insulation
Highly accurate
Fluves CORROSION shows you where corrosion is happening with 0,5 m accuracy without blindspots.
Risk analysis
Fluves CORROSION can differentiate between spots at high priority for corrosion and spots in the early stages of corrosion.
Autonomous monitoring
Fluves CORROSION runs autonomously 24/7. Say goodbye to risk based inspections and receive an instant alert when a corrosion risk is detected.
Prevent with precision
Fluves CORROSION can detect corrosion symptoms at the earliest stages, even before it happens.
Cost savings
Fluves CORROSION lowers maintenance costs by preventing the corrosion that normally takes up to 60% of your budget.
Improve asset management
By stopping corrosion early, Fluves CORROSION extends the lifespan of your assets, saving money and increasing safety.

Control corrosion, control costs
Financial data has shown that 40–60% of pipe maintenance costs are due to corrosion under insulation. Start saving on maintenance costs today with Fluves CORROSION and never let corrosion happen to begin with. Extending the lifetime of your industrial assets is not only profitable, but also better for the environment.
From fiber optic cable to monitoring
Here’s how Fluves CORROSION monitors corrosion under insulation.
Easy installation
A uniquely designed fiber optic cable is attached to the outer cladding of an asset. No dismantling or puncturing of the cladding nor insulation is required. The fiber sits effortlessly on the jacket’s outer layer, making installation quick and easy.

Smart sensing system
The fiber optic cable links to an ATEX-PROOF sensing system that uses light pulses. Thanks to advanced analysis performed on the fiber optic measurement data, the system can identify corrosion risks and other anomalies with great precision and accuracy.
24/7 monitoring and automatic alerts
When needed, alerts are automatically sent via e-mail, SMS, or SCADA and displayed on a real-time dashboard. Long-term monitoring results are summarized in frequent reporting to support your maintenance strategy.
Tackling Corrosion Under Insulation with Fiber Optic Sensing
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a major threat to industries in demanding environments like oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemical, and power generation. Studies reveal that CUI can contribute to up to 50% of maintenance costs related to corrosion in these sectors.
Unfortunately, no. Fluves CORROSION requires insulation as a key component for its operation. The system assesses the state of the insulation to accurately identify potential corrosion hotspots.
Yes, it is. The system is versatile and can be effectively implemented on both new and existing pipelines and equipment, regardless of their current condition.
No, there’s no need for that. Our installation process is designed to be non-intrusive. We install the system on the exterior of the cladding, thus eliminating the need to remove or damage the existing cladding or insulation.
Not at all. Fiber optic cables, especially those used by Fluves, are robust and durable. They have been reliably used for decades in the oil and gas industry for downhole monitoring, proving their resilience in facing extreme conditions, such as exposure to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, or abrasive environments.
