Link Potential Degradation Mechanisms (PDMs) to an RBI Component

This topic describes how to link one or more PDMs to an RBI Component. You cannot create PDMs; you can only link them. Therefore, a PDM must already exist to be linked to an RBI Component.

Steps

1. Access the RBI Component to which you want to link PDMs.

2. Select the Potential Degradation Mechanisms tab.

   The Potential Degradation Mechanisms section appears, displaying a list of PDMs linked to the RBI Component.

   

3. In the Degradation Mechanisms section, select Add PDM.

   A list of PDMs appears.

   

4. Next to the PDMs that you want to link to the RBI Component, select the check boxes.

   Note: PDMs that can be used with an RBI 581 Risk Analysis will have a 581 prefix (e.g., 581-Amine Cracking).

5. Select OK.

   The selected PDMs are linked to the RBI Component.
