To properly protect workers from skin-contact burns in compliance with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, it is imperative that the coating provides the proper system barrier and prevents heat transmission that could cause irreversible tissue damage. For passive heated surfaces, ASTM C1055 (Standard Guide for Heated System Surface Conditions that Produce Contact Burn Injuries), (1) and ASTM C1057 (Standard Practice for Determination of Skin Contact Temperature from Heated Surfaces Using a Mathematical Model and Thermethesiometer) provide the standard procedure to test a coatings ability to prevent serious burn injuries and provides the skin temperature limits that human tissue endures before irreversible harm (Figure 1). There are two primary methods used to comply with these OSHA guidelines for workers who may come into contact with pipe and tank surfaces.

Corrosion under insulation represents a real threat not just to the assets used in heavy industry / Oil & Gas but also to life. This has been demonstrated through the years with millions of dollars of lost assets/production and unfortunately injuries and deaths. For this reason there have been many documents which have providing guidance not only for design of equipment against CUI but also the pre-qualification/testing of coating systems.
