About Identifying Protected Equipment or RBI Components

After you have created a PRD Component to identify a pressure relief device (PRD), you can identify the equipment or RBI Components that that the PRD protects.

• A PRD can protect either equipment or RBI Components, but not both.

  • If a PRD protects equipment, it can protect one or many pieces of equipment.
  • If a PRD protects RBI Components, it can protect one or many RBI Components.
• A single piece of equipment can be protected by multiple PRDs.
• A single RBI Component can be protected by multiple PRDs.
• If you identify a new protected equipment or RBI Component for a PRD for which an RBI PRD Analysis already exists, the existing RBI PRD Analysis will become invalid. You will need to create a new RBI PRD Analysis to account for the new protected equipment or RBI Component.
