You can now customize field mappings for implementing Inspection Tasks from RBI Recommendations. To facilitate this enhancement, the field mappings for RBI Recommendation to Inspection Task have been moved to Policy Manager and a new policy RecommendationToInspectionTaskMapping has been added. 551016
You can now customize field mappings for implementing Inspection Tasks from RBI Inspection Plan Details. To facilitate this enhancement, the field mappings for Inspection Plan Details to Inspection Task have been moved to Policy Manager and a new policy InspectionPlanDetailToInspectionTaskMapping has been added.551015
A component filter is now added to the filter options on the RBI Tree. When you apply this filter, only the components belonging to the selected component families are displayed in the tree.
Note: The description of the following system codes have been updated in the MI RBI COMPONENT FAMILIES System Code Table:
  • MI_CCRBICCS description is now Cylindrical Shell
  • MI_CCRBICEB description is now Exchanger Bundle
  • MI_CCRBICEH description is now Exchanger Header
  • MI_CCRBICET description is now Exchanger Tube
  • MI_CCRBICPI description is now Piping

Table 2. Resolved Issues

The following issues, which existed in one or more previous versions, have been resolved.

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, the Asset ID field in RBI Recommendations was not updated when applying an RBI Analysis to another Asset with Copy Recommendations set to true and the Generate Recommendations in Created State admin preference set to true. This issue has been resolved. The Asset ID field will now be updated with the Asset ID of the new parent Asset.645845
Previously, when you updated Degradation Mechanism or Consequence Evaluation and then attempted to update the related RBI Analysis datasheet, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.651801
Previously, when you saved an RBI Component datasheet, the Asset Info Summary button () was not visible. This issue has been resolved.573078

RBI 581

Table 3. Enhancements and New Features

The following enhancements and new features have been added.

DescriptionTracking ID
Performing an RBI 581 Risk Analysis on an RBI 581 HE Bundle Damage Evaluation is now supported. Using this feature, you can calculate the financial risk and perform inspection planning for heat exchanger bundles as per API 581 3rd Edition, Risk Based Inspection Methodology Part 5-Special Equipment- Heat Exchanger Tube Bundles.
To facilitate this enhancement, the following changes have been made:
  • A new Potential Degradation Mechanism record named 581-HE Bundle Damage has been added.
  • Fields specific to the HE Bundle have been added to the RBI 581 Risk Analysis, RBI 581 Consequence Evaluation, RBI Degradation Mechanism, and Bundle Inspection families.
  • The Risk Based Inspection module has been integrated with the Reliability Analysis module; you can link a Reliability Distribution Analysis for POF calculation.
  • A new policy named RBI 581 HE Bundle Damage Inspection Recommendation has been created to generate Inspection Strategies for the newly added damage mechanism.
Note: You cannot use RBI 581 HE Bundle Damage Evaluation along with other degradation mechanisms to perform HE Bundle calculation on an RBI 581 Risk Analysis. Optimal bundle replacement frequency is not supported as part of this feature.
Important: This is a new damage mechanism model. You may review the Heat-Exchanger Bundle Components and assign this PDM if applicable and run an RBI 581 Risk Analysis.
583456
You can now perform Inspection Planning at individual Degradation Mechanism level in the RBI 581 module. You can determine the Target Inspection Date at the Damage Mechanism level, which provides a granular approach to Inspection Planning. The Target Inspection Date is also calculated at the analysis level based on the driving Degradation Mechanism. The following new fields have been added to the Damage Mechanism to capture the planning results:
  • Inspection Will Mitigate
  • Risk Summary ID
  • Risk Summary Description
  • Target Inspection Date
To enable this feature, select the Inspection Planning by Degradation Mechanism check box in the RBI Admin Preferences page. When this feature is enabled, the Target Inspection Date field on each Damage Mechanism is updated as follows:
  • Populated independently of the analysis target inspection date.
  • Used to populate the Target Completion Date on Recommended Actions (RBI Recommendations) and Inspection Plan Detail records.
  • Displayed in the RBI 581 Analysis workspace in the Damage Mechanism section result grid.
  • Displayed in the RBI Asset workspace in the Degradation Mechanism Risk Overview section.
Important: If this option is enabled, this will impact the Target Inspection Date and Risk Results for each damage mechanism. You will have to re-run all the respective analyses.

Table 4. Resolved Issues

The following issues, which existed in one or more previous versions, have been resolved.

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, in Inventory Groups section, when you attempted to search for the inventory group in the Process Units tree, then the associated components that could be linked to the inventory group were not displayed. This issue has been resolved.562572
Previously, if you set Evaluate all RBI 581 Risk Targets preference to true, then in Risk Results tab of RBI 581 Analyses, the Target Inspection Date (without Plan) was displayed incorrectly. This issue has been resolved. Now, the column is populated with the value calculated for the Target Inspection Date for the Driving Risk.
Important: If Evaluate all RBI 581 Risk Targets preference is set true, then you will have to re-run all analysis that are impacted by Target Inspection Date.
