Table 4. Resolved Issues
The following issues, which existed in one or more previous versions, have been resolved.
Description	Tracking ID
Previously, the Deg Mech Comments field was disabled in Degradation Mechanism Details page when the RBI 581 Risk Analysis was set to Created state. Now, you are allowed to enter the comments in the Deg Mech Comments field until the RBI 581 Risk Analysis is set to Complete state. This issue has been resolved.	DE192230
Previously, when the Operating Temperature field of an RBI 581 External Damage Evaluation was greater than 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the Calculated Corrosion Rate field was not set to the most conservative value from Table 15.2 (Corrosion Rates for Calculation of the DF-External Corrosion) of the RBI 581 Specification. This issue has been resolved.	DE190649
Previously, when you attempted to calculate an RBI 581 Risk Analysis with a Representative Fluid that satisfied the following conditions, an error occurred: The Initial Fluid Phase was set to Liquid. The Toxic Model was set to EO. The Toxic Leak Duration was between 3 and 4. This issue has been resolved.	DE189199
Previously, the susceptibility calculations for the 581-Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking degradation mechanism evaluation were not updated as per API 581 Specification, Third Edition. This issue has been resolved. To facilitate this fix, the RBI 581 Calculate Susceptibility - CISCC policy has been updated. For information, refer to KBA 000039983.	DE188760
Previously, when the Operating Temperature field of an RBI 581 Risk Analysis was set to a value 100, 200 or greater than 300 degrees Fahrenheit, the Cracking Susceptibility field was calculated incorrectly on the 581-Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking degradation mechanism evaluations. This issue has been resolved.	DE188760
Previously, when calculating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis with a 581-Atmospheric Tank Bottom Corrosion degradation mechanism evaluation where the Highest Effective Inspection Level field is set to Highly Effective, the Recommended Inspection Effectiveness field on the related Damage Mechanism was not set. This resulted in no recommendations being generated. This issue has been resolved. Now, the system will attempt mitigation on 581-Atmospheric Tank Bottom Corrosion degradation mechanism evaluations regardless of the highest effective inspection level.	DE187364
Previously, when you created an RBI 581 Admin option from the RBI 581 Admin Options workspace and switched between tabs, the newly created option did not appear on the page. This issue has been resolved.	DE183593
Previously, when calculating a Thinning and Lining Damage Mechanism Evaluation where the Cladding field was set to true in the parent RBI 581 Risk Analysis, the Expected Metal Loss Fraction (Art) field was calculated using the incorrect cladding corrosion rate based on the Selected Base Material Corrosion Rate field. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Expected Metal Loss Fraction (Art) field is calculated using the cladding corrosion rate based on the Selected Cladding Material Corrosion Rate field.	DE181240
Previously, when you calculated an RBI 581 Risk Analysis with a related 581-Internal Component Lining Damage degradation mechanism, the damage factor was set to Zero if the age was less than 0.5.

Previously, when you logged in with the MI RBI Viewer permissions, the Link () icon was displayed in the Linked Components section of the Inventory Group workspace. This issue has been resolved.	DE175357
Previously, when calculating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis with a toxic mixture, if one of the following values was selected in the Toxic Model field, the Weighted Toxic Consequence Area field on the related RBI 581 Consequence Evaluation was calculated incorrectly using release mass: ALCL3 CO EE EO HCI Nitric Acid NO2 Phosgene Propylene Oxide TDI This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, the Weighted Toxic Consequence Area field considers the release rate. For more information access the KBA 000037566.	DE155372
Previously, when you attempted to execute the RBI 581 Dataloader, if the value provided in the fields on the Analysis, Consequence Evaluation, or Degradation Mechanism Evaluation sheets were null, the field value was updated as null. This issue has been resolved. Now, if the value provided for the fields are null, the field is skipped and the default value or any mapped value is displayed.	DE154518
Previously, when calculating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis that had the Component Type set to Storage Tank and a related RBI 581 Thinning Degradation Mechanism Evaluation or RBI 581 External Degradation Mechanism Evaluation, the Strength Ratio field was calculated incorrectly. This issue has been resolved.	DE152192
Previously, if an RBI 581 Risk Analysis was linked to an RBI Component with the component type set to Air Cooled Exchanger Tubes, the recommendations were erroneously generated. This issue has been resolved. To facilitate this fix, the below two baseline queries are updated: Public\Meridium\Modules\Risk Based Inspection - 581\Queries\Component Type filter for Ext and Thin Public\Meridium\Modules\Risk Based Inspection - 581\Queries\Component Type filter query	DE152190
Previously, the Calculated T-min field on 581 Risk Analyses was calculated incorrectly when Geometry Type field value was Piping. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Calculated T-min field on 581 Risk Analyses is calculated using the formula from the reference, ASME B31.3, 2014 Edition. For more information about the formula, refer to KBA 000036403.	DE151334
Previously, when calculating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis, the Final Damage Factor field for the RBI 581 Thinning and Lining Evaluation family was incorrectly calculated in the following scenarios: The analysis was associated with an RBI 581 Thinning Degradation Mechanism Evaluation. The Component Type field associated with the analysis was set to Storage Tank. This issue has been resolved.	DE150440
Previously, the Calculated T-min field on 581 Risk Analyses was calculated incorrectly when Geometry Type field value was Spherical Head or Hemispherical Head. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Calculated T-min field on 581 Risk Analyses is calculated using the updated formula. For more information about the formula, refer to KBA 000037009.	DE149068
Previously, when duplicating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis, when at least one related Degradation Mechanism was not selected, an error occurred, and the RBI 581 Risk Analysis was not copied. This issue has been resolved.	DE145892
Previously, if the PV Stress or Piping Stress reference tables contained multiple records with the same combination of Design Code, Code Year, Material Specification, Material Grade and Metal Temperature, the Allowable stress and Flow stress fields in 581 Risk Analysis were populated arbitrarily with one of the records returned for each field. This issue has been resolved. Now, the record with the lowest Allowable stress value from the records returned is used to populate the Allowable Stress and Flow stress fields.	DE145435
Previously, in the picklist tab of RBI 581 data loader template, the following process fluids were not available: Acid-HP Acid-LP Acid-MP C1 C10(Kerosene) C11 C12 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8(Gasoline) C9 NH3 This issue has been resolved.	DE145420
Previously when you implemented RBI 581 Recommended Actions to existing Inspection Tasks in bulk, the data for the Recommended Inspection Task appeared only for the first Recommended Action. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Recommended Inspection Task data appears for each Recommended Action.	DE144641
Previously, if the Design Temperature value was less than the minimum value of Metal Temperature in the Piping Stress or PV Stress table records, the Allowable Stress and Flow Stress fields in 581 Risk Analysis were calculated incorrectly. This issue has been resolved. Now, if the Design Temperature value is less than the minimum value of Metal Temperature, then the Allowable Stress and Flow Stress fields are calculated based on the minimum value of Metal Temperature.	DE84703
Previously, when creating an RBI 581 Risk Analysis, the Measured External Corrosion Rate field in the RBI Component family was not mapped to the Base Material Measured Rate field in the related RBI 581 External Damage Evaluation family. This issue has been resolved.	DE83359
Previously, when you calculated an RBI 581 Risk Analysis with Component Type set to Storage Tank Bottom, the Base Damage Factor on RBI 581 Thinning and Lining Datasheet was not retrieving the most conservative value from Thinning Damage Factors of the AST Bottom table in the API 581 Specification. This issue has been resolved. For more information, refer to KBA 000038729.	DE83086
