This step is required only if you want additional values such as half-life to determine the inspection task interval. This check box is cleared by default.

10 Select the Is a Unit? check box in Functional Location records that represent units in your facility.

This step is required to mark Functional Location records as Process Units.

11 Using the Belongs to a Unit relationship, link Equipment records to Functional Location records representing units to which that equipment belongs (i.e., the Is a Unit? check box is selected).This step is optional.
12 Configure the GE Digital APM system to generate RBI Recommendation records automatically.This step is optional.
13 Create Potential Degradation Mechanisms records. This step is required only if you want to use additional Potential Degradation Mechanisms records that are not provided in the baseline GE Digital APM database.
14 Assign a ranking to all Qualitative Potential Degradation Mechanisms records. This step is required only if you want the Probability Category field in certain Criticality Degradation Mech Evaluation records to be populated automatically based on this ranking.

Upgrade or Update RBI to V4.3.1.0.0

Before You Begin

The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to V4.3.1.0.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic GE Digital APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

After you upgrade:

  • All RBI Assets with Active Analyses will have a related Inspection Plan record created.
  • All RBI recommendations for an RBI Asset will be related to Inspection Plan record of the RBI Asset.
  • The state caption for RBI Recommendation family with State ID MI_ACCEPTED will be updated to “Approved�?.
  • The Recommendation Methodology field on RBI Recommendation will be updated to RBI 580 where previously the field had the value of "Criticality Calculator�?.
  • All security users who belong to the 'MI RBI Analyst' security group will belong to the MI Inspection Plan Approver security role.
  • The MI Inspection Plan Approver security role will have the MI ASM Analyst security group assigned.
  • Piping Stress updated
    • In some of the Piping Stress records for B31.3, WPB was misspelled as WFB. These records are now updated based on ASME standards.
    • In some of the Piping Stress records for B31.3 and B31.1 for the year 2014, where the Material Specification field contained the value B366 and B622, the Material Grade had the value NS instead of N/A. These records are now updated based on ASME standards.
  • RBI 580 Representative Fluid contents have been updated for the following fluids to match the API 581, 3rd Edition, Addendum 1 specification:
    • C13-16 (Diesel)
    • C17-25 (Gas Oil)
    • C25+ (Resid)
    • C5
    • Chlorine
    • CO
    • EO
    • H2
    • H2O (Water)
    • H2S
    • HCl
    • HF
    • MEOH (Methanol)
    • NH3
    • Phosgene
    • Steam

    For information on the updated RBI 580 Representative Fluid Contents, refer to the RBI 580 Representative Fluids topic.

  • The Data Mapping Group record that satisfies the following conditions, along with its child records, will be reverted to baseline:
    • The value in the Source Family field is Criticality RBI Component - Exchanger Bundle.
    • The value in the Target Family field is RBI Criticality Analysis.
  • In some of the PV Stress records that contain the value SA/AS 1548, SB-187, SB-308, or SB-211 in the Material Specification field, values in the Minimum Yield Strength field are updated based on ASME 2010 standards.
