Link Potential Degradation Mechanisms (PDMs) to an RBI Corrosion Loop

When you link PDMs to an RBI Corrosion Loop, the PDMs are applied to all the RBI Components contained in that RBI Corrosion Loop.

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

Steps

Access the Corrosion Loop to which you want to link PDMs.
In the workspace, select the Potential Degradation Mechanisms tab.

The Potential Degradation Mechanisms section appears.

In the Potential Degradation Mechanisms section, select Add PDM.

A list of PDMs appears, displaying the methodology type of each PDM.

Tip: If you select the link that corresponds to a PDM, the PDM record appears in Record Explorer on a new page.
In the row containing each PDM that you want to link to the Corrosion Loop, select the check box, and then select OK.

The selected PDMs are linked to the Corrosion Loop.
