    Corrosion under insulation is localized external corrosion that occurs in insulated equipment and piping when water collects in the insulation. Carbon steel and low alloy steel experience severe corrosion between 60-175 degrees Celsius, austenitic stainless steel experiences erosion-corrosion between 140-175 degrees, and duplex steel experiences it above 140 degrees. The corrosion occurs due to water contacting the insulated metal surface.
