Define Custom Corrosion Rates

Before You Begin

Thickness Monitoring includes several baseline TML-level corrosion rates that you can choose to calculate for TML Corrosion Analyses. In addition to using these baseline corrosion rates, you can define custom corrosion rate calculations to use within Thickness Monitoring. Using the options on the Global Preferences workspace, you can define up to two custom calculations.

Before you can enable the use of custom corrosion rates, you must first create rules that define those corrosion rates. This documentation assumes that the necessary rules have already been defined.

Steps

1. Access the Global Preferences workspace.

2. Select .

   In the Global Preferences workspace, the boxes and check boxes are enabled. is replaced with .

3. In the Custom Corrosion Rate Options section, below the Custom Corrosion Rate A heading, in the Label box, enter the label that you want to use for this custom corrosion rate.

   

4. To the right of the Calculation Rule box, select .

   The Select a Project and Method from the Catalog window appears.

   

   Tip: If you know the path to the method, you can also enter it directly in the Calculation Rule box.

5. In the left pane of the window, navigate to and select the Rules Library folder containing the project in which the desired rule is defined.

   The middle pane is populated with a list of projects that exist in the selected folder.

6. In the middle pane, select the project that contains the method that you want to use for the corrosion rate rule.

   The right pane is populated with a list of valid methods.

7. In the right pane, select the method.

8. Select Done.

   The Select a Project and Method from the Catalog window closes.

9. If you want to define a second custom corrosion rate, repeat steps 3 to 8 under the Custom Corrosion Rate B heading.

10. In the upper-right corner of the workspace, select .

    The custom corrosion rate settings are saved along with any other changes to the settings on the Global Preferences workspace.
