Fields Required to Calculate RBI PRD Criticality Analyses

Several fields in RBI families are required to calculate RBI PRD Criticality Analyses. If you try to calculate an RBI PRD Analysis and any required fields do not contain values, the analysis will not be calculated, and the Calculation Status dialog box will appear, displaying a list of the required fields that do not contain values.
Note: At least one Over Pressure Criticality Degradation Mech Evaluation record must be linked on the RBI PRD Criticality Analysis.
The lists are categorized by the family to which the required fields belong.

  • Operating Temperature
  • PRD Discharge Location
  • Service Severity
  • Driving Component
    Note: The Driving Component field must contain a value if the pressure relief device protects RBI Components.
  • Damage Factor Class
    Note: The Damage Factor Class field must contain a value if the pressure relief device protects asset.
