About Moving Thickness Measurement Locations (TMLs)

You may determine that a TML that was originally linked to one asset or TML Group actually belongs to a different asset or TML Group that is included in a different Corrosion Analysis. In this case, rather than creating a new TML for the correct asset or TML Group, you can relocate the TML.

In this case, you will use Relocate TMLs to select the TML that you want to move and the asset or TML Group to which it will be linked.

You may determine that a particular subset of existing TMLs actually belong in their own TML Group. If so, you would create a TML Group for the asset, and then move the TMLs to the new TML Group.

In this case, you will use Organize TMLs to move the TMLs from one TML Group to another.

When you move a TML from one asset or TML Group to another:

• The TML ID of the TML you want to relocate cannot be the same as that of a TML that is already linked to the target asset or TML Group.
• The TML that you relocate will now be linked only to the target asset or TML Group that you select via the Has Datapoints relationship.
• The value in the TML Asset ID field of any relocated TML will be updated to reflect the target asset or TML Group.
• Any Thickness Measurements, TML Corrosion Analyses, and Corrosion Analysis Settings that are linked to a TML will remain linked after the TML is relocated.
• The Corrosion Analysis Settings for the relocated TML will inherit the values in the Corrosion Analysis Settings that are linked to the target asset or TML Group, with the exception of the following fields:
  • Allowable Measured Variance
  • Corrosion Rate Variance
  • Default Inspection Interval
  • Minimum CR
• You can select TMLs from multiple source assets or TML Groups for a single relocate operation, but you can select only a single target. If you want to relocate TMLs to more than one target asset or TML Group, you will need to perform the relocate procedure multiple times.
• After the TMLs are relocated, all calculations will be updated for the Corrosion Analysis that is associated with the source and target asset or TML Groups.
