Temperature Cycling in Offshore Platforms: The Hidden Driver of Insulation Breakdown
New inspections across major offshore regions reveal that repeated temperature cycling—rather than corrosion alone—is becoming a primary driver of insulation degradation on offshore platforms. Daily heating–cooling fluctuations create micro-gaps, crushed insulation cells, and hidden moisture ingress, reducing thermal performance and accelerating CUI. Operators are responding with higher-resilience insulation systems, improved moisture barriers, and new inspection technologies such as infrared thermography and moisture mapping.
