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:
This feature provides the following functionalities to optimize an inspection:
Note: Existing Inspection Groups that were created in GE Digital APM V3.x will be visible in the page containing the Inspection Groups. It is recommended that you re-create the Inspection Groups. | F48217 | ||||||||
| 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:
| US416909 | ||||||||
| You can now override the Recommended Interval field in Recommended Actions that are generated for RBI PRD Criticality Analyses by clearing the Use Calculated Data check box on the related Inspection Strategy datasheet. When the Use Calculated Data field is set to false, the Recommended Interval field will be set to the Recommended Inspection Interval field from the Inspection Strategy record. | US415572 | ||||||||

|---|---|
| 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 |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

| 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, release rate calculation in RBI 581 Consequence Evaluation was based on the value in the Release Fluid Phase field of the related RBI 581 Risk Analysis. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Release Rate calculation will be based on the Initial Fluid Phase field value in the RBI 581 Risk Analysis. In addition, for a user with unit of measurement conversion set assigned, Release Fluid Phase in the RBI 581 Risk Analysis was populated incorrectly for fluids where:
| DE137632 |

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 |
