About Pressure Relief Devices (PRD)

A pressure relief device (PRD) is a device that protects equipment or RBI Components from pressure buildup. In RBI, you will store information about PRDs in records belonging to subfamilies of the PRD Components family.

Specifically, RBI supports the use of the following types of PRDs:

Pressure relief valves (stored in Criticality Calculator PRD Component - Relief Valve records)
Rupture disks (stored in Criticality Calculator PRD Component - Rupture Disk records)

Note: Throughout this documentation, where the distinction between the two subfamilies is irrelevant to the discussion, you will see the term PRD Components to refer to a record in either subfamily.
