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 go-to solution for tackling corrosion under insulation (CUI). Our system uses fiber optic technology to monitor your critical infrastructure with 0.5 meter accuracy, detecting issues before they escalate. By catching corrosion early, Fluves Corrosion helps you cut maintenance costs, prevent damage, and extend the lifetime of your assets. Ensure your infrastructure stays safe and efficient with reliable corrosion monitoring solutions.
The cure for corrosion
Highly accurate
Fluves Corrosion pinpoints corrosion with 0.5 meter accuracy without the need to remove the cladding, ensuring complete coverage and detection with no blind spots.
Risk analysis
Fluves Corrosion accurately detects and differentiates between areas with advanced corrosion and those in the early stages of development.
Autonomous monitoring
Fluves Corrosion runs autonomously 24/7, eliminating the need for risk-based inspections and receive instant alerts when a corrosion risk is detected.
Prevent with precision
Fluves Corrosion detects corrosion symptoms at the earliest stages, even before visible damage occurs, enabling proactive maintenance.
Cost savings
Fluves Corrosion significantly reduces maintenance costs by preventing corrosion, which typically takes up to 60% of maintenance budgets.
Boost asset management
By detecting and stopping corrosion early, Fluves Corrosion extends the lifespan of assets, saves money, and increases operational safety.

Manage corrosion to control risks and 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 monitoring to actionable insights
Fluves Corrosion uses advanced fiber optic technology to monitor corrosion under insulation (CUI) in real-time, detecting early signs and preventing costly damage.
1. Easy installation
A uniquely designed fiber optic cable is attached to the outer cladding of an asset, with no need for dismantling, puncturing, or scaffolding during installation. The fiber effortlessly sits on the jacket’s outer layer, allowing for quick and easy setup. The system can be installed in sections or rolled out over the entire surface for complete coverage.

2. Smart sensing system
The fiber optic cable links to an ATEX-PROOF distributed fiber optic 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.
3. Dashboard, reports and automatic alerts
When needed, alerts are automatically sent via e-mail, SMS, or the SCADA system and displayed on a real-time dashboard. Long-term monitoring results are summarized in frequent reporting to support your maintenance strategy, so you can take back control.
4. Drive smarter and informed decisions
Fluves Corrosion reduces heat losses, cuts CO2 emissions, and lowers energy costs while improving facility operations and safety. Minimize unplanned downtime and environmental pollution for more sustainable and efficient performance. In this way you can prevent corrosion in time and unlock the full potential of your assets.
Corrosion Under Insulation Monitoring

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.
Fluves Corrosion can detect early symptoms of corrosion with pinpoint accuracy down to 0.5 meters, ensuring complete coverage without blind spots - even before the corrosion fully develops.
