Thickness Monitoring now supports rotation and flip of piping components. To facilitate this enhancement, the following changes have been made:- The Pipe Rotation Preferences section has been added to the TM Admin Preferences page, where you can enable the piping rotation workflow.
- The Wall Ratio Preferences section has been added to the TM Admin Preferences page, where you can enter the parameters used for defining custom alert levels.
- The Piping Asset check box is added to the Corrosion Analysis Settings workspace, where you can designate piping assets. This check box appears when the piping rotation workflow is enabled.
- For piping assets, the Rotate/Flip Selection button has been added to the Analysis Overview workspace.
In addition, the following features are available: - In the window used to rotate or flip a component:
- Band heat maps denoting the alert levels for each TML in a band are available.
- Widgets displaying the current positions of the TMLs on a selected band, and a preview of the changed positions after a Rotation or Flip are available.
- The Add as What-If button to create What-If scenarios for rotating or flipping a piping component is available.
- For piping components, the PIPE ROTATION: HISTORY section that displays rotation or flip history is available.
- For piping bands, the Trends graphs that display historical measurement data for each position on the band, and for each TML in the band are available.
- An option to undo the last rotation or flip is available.
- For each rotation or flip, an Inspection record is created. These records appear in the Inspections section of the Inspection Management Overview page of the Inspection Management module.

You can now create or update records for Components, Bands, TMLs, and Thickness Measurements for Piping Assets using the Piping Data Loaders. You can also create or update Corrosion Analysis Settings (CAS) records. To facilitate this enhancement, the following Excel templates are provided:- Thickness Monitoring (TM) Piping Equipment.xlsx
- Thickness Monitoring (TM) Piping Functional Location.xlsx

To improve usability, the following changes have been made:- The Remaining Life tab has been removed from the Analysis Overview workspace for assets and TML Groups. You can now select the Analysis Output tab, and then expand the REMAINING LIFE section to view the Remaining Life graph and the Remaining Life table.
- The Trends tab has been removed from the Analysis Overview workspace for TMLs. You can now select the Analysis Output tab, and then expand the TRENDS section to view the Trends graph.

| In the TML Trends graph, you can now view the lines representing the alert levels based on the values defined in the Wall Ratio Preferences section of the TM Admin Preferences page. In addition, you can also view the line representing the nominal thickness value. | US417412 |
You can now add advanced filters to the TMLs in the TMLs section of the Analysis Overview workspace. To facilitate this enhancement, in the TMLs section, the Filter button ( ) has been added. | US417400 |
| To improve performance, for an Asset that contains only TML Groups directly linked to it, the Remaining Life Graph for the Asset displays information about the remaining life for the TML Groups linked to the Asset. | US414312 |
To improve usability when sending data to a datalogger, the following enhancements have been made:- The Select TMLs pane has been added to the TM Dataloggers page, where you can select multiple items at the Asset, TML group, and TML levels to send to the device.
- The Selected TMLs workspace has been added to the TM Dataloggers page, where you can view the list of selected TMLs before sending data to the device.
Note:
- You must install the latest version of the Meridium Device Service to use TM Dataloggers.
- Sending measurement data for the TMLs for Piping Assets, Piping Components, and Piping Bands is only supported for the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger.
- For the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger, a single file is created for each Asset instead of a TML Group. You can rename the files before sending to the device, as needed.
| US414309 |
| To improve usability and performance when sending or receiving measurement data in the TM Dataloggers page, the send and receive operations have now been moved to scheduler. | US409560 |
| You can now view the basis for which the value in the Measurement Status Indicator for a measurement was changed. To facilitate this enhancement, the Measurement Status Indicator Basis field has been added to the Thickness Measurements datasheet. | US408143 |
| To improve usability when receiving and saving data from the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger, the Datalogger History family has been introduced. TML records are now identified by entity keys stored in Datalogger History records rather than by Asset IDs and TML IDs. In addition, in the Receive From section, the FILENAME column has been added to display the file name corresponding to each TML record received from the device. | US400590 |
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:
| Query | Path |
|---|
| Assets Near or Past Retirement | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | Assets with TM Tasks | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | Corrosion Distribution | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | Excessive Corrosion | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | Remaining Life Less than 180 Months | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | Thickness Inspections | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | TM Assets | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries | | TM Assets Requiring a Calculation | Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries |
| US398215 |
| To improve usability, for security users not associated with the MI Thickness Monitoring Administrator Security Group, the Delete option for TML Groups, TMLs, and measurements has been removed. | DE134925 |
