Previously, creating or copying an RBI analysis was failing for an Asset where the Source of Corrosion Rate was either Asset or Component and the Asset had large number of TMLs. This issue has been resolved. Now, you can go to Thickness Monitoring module and calculate the corrosion analysis before creating or copying an RBI Analysis, if the Asset has more than 1000 TMLs and the Asset Corrosion Analysis has not been calculated.US427530
Previously, the security group MI Inspection Viewer did not have the permissions to view the Inspection Recommendation family. This issue has been resolved.DE135150
Previously, in the Asset Hierarchy, when you selected an asset, and then selected the Integrity tab, the link for Risk Based Inspection took longer to load, depending on the number of assets in the Asset Hierarchy. This issue has been resolved.DE132867
Previously, when you bulk calculated RBI 580 or RBI 581 analyses from the Unit Overview or the Corrosion Loop Overview section, the Analyses Calculation window displayed an incorrect value for the number of analyses calculated, and the percentage in the progress bar. This issue has been resolved.DE132615
Previously, in the Recommendation pane, the target completion date did not appear in the format based on your culture settings. This issue has been resolved.DE132189

With Inspection Grouping, you can now perform inspection on a subset of equipment in a group rather than on every piece of equipment in that group. Inspection Groups are created for two damage mechanisms, that is, for Internal Corrosion and External Corrosion. The primary criteria for selecting equipment for inspection are but not limited to the following:
  • Wall Ratio
  • Inspection Priority
  • Risk Category
This feature provides the following functionalities to optimize an inspection:
  • Option to enable this feature from RBI application settings
  • Ability to create and update Inspection Group
  • Advanced filtering for Inspection grouping grid
  • Ability to generate Inspection group recommendations
  • Integration of Inspection grouping recommendations with Inspection Plan
  • Ability to promote Inspection grouping recommendations into Asset Strategy Manager
  • Ability to implement Inspection grouping recommendations from Inspection Plan and Asset Strategy Manager
  • User interface to identify a Representative inspection event
  • Ability to generate represented inspections
Note: Existing Inspection Groups that were created in APM V3.x will be visible in the page containing the Inspection Groups. It is recommended that you re-create the Inspection Groups.

You can now view the risk for the current interval on RBI PRD Criticality Analyses, Leak Degradation Mechanism Evaluations, and Over Pressure Degradation Mechanism Evaluations. The current interval is defined as the difference between the current calculation date and the Next Inspection Date field on the RBI PRD Criticality Analysis family.
To facilitate this enhancement, the Next Inspection Date field is now a required field whether the RBI PRD Criticality Analysis protects components or assets. In addition, the following fields have been added to store the results of the calculation at the current interval:
  • RBI PRD Criticality Analyses
    • Driving PoF – Current Interval
    • Driving CoF – Current Interval
    • Driving Inspection Priority (Unmitigated Risk) – Current Interval
    • Risk Category – Current Interval
    • Inspection Interval – Current Interval

Table 4. Resolved Issues

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

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, Inventory was not calculated correctly for an RBI Component when Initial Fluid Phase was Gas. This issue has been resolved.DE138184
Previously, the fields Operation Pressure – Channel Side and Operating Temperature – Channel Side on RBI Criticality Analysis had a default value of zero pounds force per square inch and zero degrees Fahrenheit respectively. This resulted in negative values for users assigned to the metric UOM Conversion Set. This issue has been resolved. Now, there is no default value assigned for the fields Operation Pressure – Channel Side and Operating Temperature – Channel Side. DE133049
Previously, when the Allowable Stress Override check box was not selected, you could not calculate the RBI Criticality Analysis without specifying a value in the Material Grade box. However, for certain Material Specifications, the Material Grade is not required to populate the value in the Allowable Stress field for calculating the RBI Criticality Analysis. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, the Material Grade is not required when calculating the RBI Criticality Analysis.DE132255
Previously, the Representative Fluid field in RBI Criticality Analysis was incorrectly mapped from the Process Fluid field value in the Technical Data - Shell Side section in the RBI Comp - Exchanger Bundle datasheet of the related RBI Component. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Representative Fluid field is not populated by default in the RBI Criticality Analysis, when the related RBI Component is Criticality RBI Component – Exchanger Bundle.DE126274

Table 5. Enhancements and New Features

The following enhancements and new features have been added.

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, when calculating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis with an RBI 581 External Cracking Damage Evaluation or an RBI 581 Cracking Damage Evaluation, the value in the Date in Service field was used to calculate the age on Planned Date with Inspection if the Last Known Inspection Date field was not set. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Target Inspection Date field is used to calculate the age on Planned Date with Inspection regardless of whether the Last Known Inspection Date field is set for RBI 581 External Cracking Damage Evaluations and RBI 581 Cracking Damage Evaluations.US414062
The following fields in the Risk Based Inspection 581 Consequence Evaluation family will now be displayed in Kilograms per Second for users assigned with the Metric Unit of Measure conversion set.

  • Release Rate Large
  • Release Rate Rupture
  • Adjusted Release Rate Small
  • Adjusted Release Rate Medium
  • Adjusted Release Rate Large
  • Adjusted Release Rate Rupture
  • Toxic Release Rate Small
  • Toxic Release Rate Medium
  • Toxic Release Rate Large
  • Toxic Release Rate Rupture
To facilitate this enhancement, a conversion set for Pounds per Second to Kilograms per second has been added.		US403046
RBI 581 Analyses now allow AST Shell calculations for Component Type field value set to Storage Tank. To facilitate this change, the following fields in the RBI 581 Consequence Evaluation family are now enabled if the Component Type field is set to Storage Tank, regardless of the related RBI Component family:
  • Maximum Fill Height in AST
  • Fluid Percent Leaving Dike
  • Fluid Percent Onsite
  • Fluid Percent Offsite
  • Environmental Sensitivity
  • Tank Course Height
In Addition, RBI 581 Analyses with the Component Type field set to Storage Tank Bottom are only valid if the related RBI Component family is Criticality RBI Component - Tank Bottom.		US401540
To improve performance, the following queries have been modified to retrieve the ENTY_ID from the Equipment or Asset Hierarchy instead of the MI_ENTITIES table of the database:
QueryPath

Analyses Created for Evergreening – 581Public/Meridium/Modules/RBI 581/Queries
US398209
You can now create a What-If Analysis from an RBI 581 Risk Analysis in the active state. To facilitate this enhancement, the Create What-If option is now enabled on the RBI Component Overview workspace and the RBI Analysis workspace for the RBI 581 Risk Analyses that are in the active state.US385170
Table 6. Resolved Issues

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

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, the SHE Risk Category was incorrectly set to Low on the RBI 581 Risk Analyses related to the Storage Tank Bottom components. This issue has been resolved. Now, the SHE Risk Category will always be blank on the RBI 581 Risk Analyses related to the Storage Tank Bottom components.DE140734
Previously, when the Online Monitoring field was set to Yes (Y) on the 581-Internal Component Lining Damage, a Damage Mechanism Evaluation, the Online Monitoring Adjustment was incorrectly set as 0.01. This affected the calculated Damage Factor field. This issue has been resolved. Now, as per the API 581, 3rd edition specification, the Online Monitoring Adjustment is set to 0.1 when the Online Monitoring field is set to Yes (Y) on the 581-Internal Component Lining Damage a Damage Mechanism Evaluation.DE139034

Previously, the Calculated T-min field in the 581 Risk Analyses was incorrectly calculated when the Geometry Type field value was Piping. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Calculated T-min field is calculated using the formula from the reference ASME B31.3, 2014 Edition. For more information on the formula, refer to KBA 000036403.

DE137299
Previously, when calculating RBI 581 Analysis for an AST Shell component on an Oracle database where toxic fluid was set to ALCL3, an error occurred and the calculation failed. This issue has been resolved.DE137248
Previously, the Mapped RBI Component (MIR_MTORBIC) relationship family did not have a baseline business rule. Due to this, when you attempted to inherit the Library.Baseline.MIR_MTORBIC.MIR_MTORBIC rule in your custom project, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE133994
Previously, when the Allowable Stress Override check box was not selected, you could not calculate an RBI 581 Risk Analysis linked to RBI 581 Thinning and Lining Evaluation or RBI 581 External Damage Evaluation without specifying a value in the Material Grade box. However, for certain Material Specifications, the Material Grade is not required to populate the value in the Allowable Stress field for calculating the RBI Criticality Analysis. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, if the Allowable Stress and Flow Stress fields contain a value, the Material Grade is not required when calculating the RBI Criticality Analysis.DE132255
