Abstract: Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) of an insulated iron or other corrosion prone object (1) is detected by taking a sample (8) of the pore fluid from the pores of a permeable insulation layer (2) that covers at least part of the object (1) and analyzing the composition of the sample (8) on the presence of any tracer fluid, such as phospines, mercaptans, alcohols, acids, ketones and/or aldehydes emitted or acetic acid and/or butoxyethanol absorbed by any corrosion of the corrosion prone object (1) by a tracer fluid detection sensor (6).

Abstract: A device is disclosed for inspecting an object of electrically conductive material, in which a non-static-signal transmitter generates an electromagnetic field in the object, and a receiver measures the variations of the eddy current generated by the non-static electromagnetic field and produces a signal representing the decay of the eddy current. The non-static-signal transmitter is provided with at least two laterally spaced-apart emitters for emitting an electromagnetic field, which emitters are, during normal operation, so driven that the resulting electromagnetic field in the central region between the emitters is intensified.
