Create an RBI Component

This topic describes how to create a new RBI Component and link it to an Asset or a Corrosion Loop. You can also link an existing RBI Component to an Asset or a Corrosion Loop.

Steps

1. Access the Asset Summary workspace of the asset in which you want to create an RBI Component.

   -or-

   Access the Corrosion Loop in which you want to create anRBI Component.

2. In the left pane, select , and then select Create New Component.

   The Create New RBI Component window appears.

   

3. Enter values in the following fields:

   • Asset: This field is automatically populated with the asset for which you are creating an RBI Component.
   • Component Family: Select the component family for the Component that you want to create.
   • Component Type: Select the component type for the RBI Component that you want to create.

4. Select Create.

   A new RBI Component is created, and is automatically linked to the selected Asset and the Corrosion Loop. The Component Details section appears, displaying the component datasheet.

   

5. Enter values in the available fields.

6. In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select .

   The changes made to the RBI Component are saved.

Results

• The RBI Component inherits linked Potential Degradation Mechanisms from the RBI Corrosion Loop.

What's Next?

• Link Potential Degradation Mechanisms (PDMs) to an RBI Component.
