Data Models

Criticality Calculator RBI Component Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used in a Criticality Calculator RBI Component are related to one another.



Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

RBI Corrosion Loop Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used in an RBI Corrosion Loop are related to one another.



Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

RBI Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used in Risk Based Inspection are related to one another.



Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

In addition to the families shown in the RBI data model, access to the following Inspection Management entity and relationship families is provided when the Risk Based Inspection license is active:

  • Has Inspection Scope
  • Has Time Based Inspection Interval
  • Time Based Inspection Interval
  • Time Based Inspection Setting

RBI Components

While the data model illustration shows only one RBI Component box, the GE Digital APM RBI data model includes the following RBI Component families:

  • Criticality Calculator PRD Components
  • Criticality PRD Component - Relief Valve (used for pressure relief devices only)
  • Criticality PRD Component - Rupture Disk (used for pressure relief devices only)
  • Criticality RBI Component - Cylindrical Shell
  • Criticality RBI Component - Exchanger Bundle
  • Criticality RBI Component - Exchanger Header
  • Criticality RBI Component - Exchanger Tube
  • Criticality RBI Component - Piping
  • Criticality RBI Component - Tank Bottom
  • RBI Pipeline Segment

Similarly, while the data model illustration shows only one RBI 581 Damage Mechanism Evaluation box, the GE Digital APM RBI data model includes the following RBI 581 Degradation Mechanism Evaluation families:

  • RBI 581 Brittle Fracture Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 Cracking Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 External Cracking Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 External Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 HTHA Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 Mechanical Fatigue Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 Thinning and Lining Evaluation

Each Corrosion Loop can be linked to multiple RBI Components. Each RBI Component can be linked to multiple RBI Analysis records.

Note: Because they are not related to any other families in the RBI data model, the following families are not included in the preceding image: Strategy Logic Case, Strategy Reference Table, Data Mapping Column-Field Pair, Data Mapping Group, Data Mapping Query, RBI Strategy Mapping Configuration, and RBI Strategy Mapping Details. In addition, although GE Digital APM Reference Table families are used by RBI, they are not included in the image.

RBI Process Flow Diagram

RBI allows you to create RBI Analyses that contain calculated data about RBI Components. RBI 581 Risk Analysis records are linked to RBI Components; therefore, when you create an RBI Component, you must choose the main Equipment record to which it will be linked. Doing so allows some values from the Equipment to be copied to the RBI Component.

You can also link each RBI Component to a Corrosion Loop that represents the corresponding RBI Components.

The following diagram shows a Process Unit that contains a Feed System (green) and an Overhead (OVHD) System (yellow). A Column (i.e., a piece of equipment) is part of the feed system and the OVHD system.



In this case, because the column belongs in two Corrosion Loops, you must divide the column into logical groups of components. Each component represents a single RBI Component, which is defined by a single RBI Component, and each of those RBI Components is linked to the main Equipment representing the column. In addition, each RBI Component can be linked to a Corrosion Loop.

RBI Recommendation Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used to create an RBI Recommendation are related to one another.

Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.
