RBI Analyses

About RBI Analysis

An RBI Analysis is a combination of linked RBI Analysis records and their successor records. These records contain risk information about the RBI Component for which the analysis was created. There are two kinds of RBI Analyses: RBI 581 and RBI 580.

  • The details of an RBI 580 analysis are stored in an RBI Criticality Analysis record. It is based on the API 580 specification for Risk Based Inspection requirements and methodologies, and is the type of analysis provided in baseline RBI.
  • The details of an RBI 581 analysis are stored in an RBI 581 Risk Analysis. It is based on the API 581 specification, and is provided by the RBI 581 module.

Depending on the requirements of the organization, generally you will use one of the two types of analyses, but not both.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, RBI Analysis procedures are the same for both RBI 581 and RBI 580 analyses. Generally, RBI 581 Risk Analysis and RBI Criticality Analysis records will be referred to collectively as RBI Analyses.

Details

There are two types of RBI Analyses:

  • Main RBI Analysis: An RBI Analysis that represents current information about the RBI Component and the operating environment. You can use the information in a main RBI Analysis as the starting point for a child What If Analysis.
  • What-If Analysis: A child analysis of a main RBI Analysis. What If Analyses allow you to calculate the risk associated with an RBI Component under hypothetical circumstances or at some future date. For example, you might want to see what the risk would be if you changed the operating pressure or what the risk could be in a few years.
Note: While the RBI Analysis is linked to child What-If Analyses (through the Has RBI Analysis family), those child RBI Analysis records are not considered part of the main RBI Analysis. Instead, they are considered part of their own RBI Analysis.

About Active Analysis

An RBI 581 Risk Analysis can be active or inactive. An active analysis is the one on which recommendations and tasks for a particular RBI Analysis will be based. For an RBI Component, you can have only one active analysis. There is no limit, however, to the number of inactive analyses that can exist for an RBI Component.

When you create an analysis, it is in the Created state. If the analysis is active, you can then set the analysis to one of the following states in that order:

  • Risk Completed
  • Accepted by ASM

If the analysis is inactive, however, the state of the analysis will automatically be set to Archived. If you change the state of an analysis to Risk Completed, all the other analyses are marked inactive (i.e., their state is set to Archived).

About What-If Analysis

A What-If Analysis is a child analysis of a main RBI Analysis (or another What-If Analysis in the Risk Completed state) that allows you to calculate the risk associated with an RBI Component under hypothetical circumstances. What-If Analyses allow you to analyze hypothetical situations to determine how operational and procedural changes would impact the risk associated with a component's failure on a certain date.

When you create a What-If Analysis:

  • A record of the RBI 581 Risk Analysis is created. For the What-If Analysis, however, the value in the Event Type field is populated with the value W.

    Note: For a normal RBI Analysis, the value in the Event Type field is blank.
  • The What-If Analysis is linked to the main analysis through the Has Child RBI Criticality Analysis relationship.
  • The Consequence Evaluation, Degradation Mechanisms (DMs), and Degradation Mechanism Evaluations (DMEs) linked to the main analysis are copied and linked to the What-If Analysis.
  • The Analysis ID of the What-If Analysis is in the following format: W <Analysis ID of the main analysis> <Number> <Scenario ID>, where <Number> is the sequential number of the What-If Analysis.
  • You can duplicate the What-If Analysis. You cannot, however, apply the What-If Analysis.
  • You can change the state of the What-If Analysis. The state assignments and operations that are applicable to an RBI Analysis are also applicable to a What-If Analysis.
  • GE Digital APM copies the values from the fields in the main analysis to the What-If Analysis. However, values in the output fields (i.e., fields that appear in the Risk Results and Risk Analysis sections of the datasheet) are not copied.

About Inspection Planning

Inspection Planning is a methodology used by the RBI 581 module as outlined by API RP 581. The purpose of this methodology is to mitigate the risk of a failure within a given period of time. This period is called the plan period.

To mitigate risk based on inspection planning:

  1. Calculate the analysis.
  2. If the analysis results are acceptable, change the state of the analysis to Risk Completed.
  3. Generate Recommendations.

    GE Digital APM creates non-recurring recommendations based on the recommended inspections for each Degradation Mechanisms record (DM).

  4. Promote the asset to Asset Strategy Management (ASM).

    Actions are created in ASM for each RBI Recommendation.

  5. Create Inspection Tasks based on the proposed actions.
  6. Implement the Inspection Tasks.

Risk is calculated for all applicable Degradation Mechanism Evaluations (DMEs) at RBI Date and plan Date. Risk calculated on plan date without mitigation appears on the Without Plan section of the analysis datasheet. Risk calculated on the plan date with mitigation appears on the With Plan section of the datasheet.

Inspection Planning, however, is applied only to the following DMEs:

  • RBI 581 Cracking Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 External Damage Evaluation
  • RBI 581 Thinning and Lining Evaluation

Inspection Planning determines if mitigation will help, and if it does, GE Digital APM recommends an Inspection for the DM with an A, B, or C level of Inspection Effectiveness.

Risk Targets

The following risk targets are defined in RBI 581:

  • Target Damage Factor Max: This value represents maximum acceptable damage factor for calculating probability of failure.

    Target Damage Factor Max will still be considered even if your organization specifies that the SHE Risk or Financial Risk should be the driving risk for RBI 581 Risk Analyses. This is because, even if the SHE Risk or Financial Risk is less than the target, it can still lead to a failure if the damage factor is high. For example, suppose there is a condensate piping with insulation. In this case, the consequence of a condensate leakage is low. Therefore, the SHE Risk and Financial Risk are considerably low, which results in a risk value lower than the target. Even if the condensate leaks frequently, the low risk value does not help the analyst identify the high probability of failure due to ferritic corrosion under insulation. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the damage factor is less than the target damage factor as well.

  • Target SHE Risk : This value represents maximum acceptable safety, health, and environmental risk.
  • Target Financial Risk : This value represents maximum acceptable financial risk.

These targets appear in the Planning Targets section of the RBI 581 Risk Analysis datasheet.

Risk Summary

Each risk target represents a threshold value. Based on whether the total risk value is already below the target risk, or will be mitigated after inspection planning, the appropriate Risk Summary is specified for the analysis.

The following Risk Summaries are defined in the Inspection Planning Risk Summary family as an outcome from Inspection Planning:

  • Risk exceeded, Mitigation does not help : Indicates that the risk exceeds the target, and the highest level of inspection cannot mitigate the risk to a value less than the target. In this case, the Risk Summary Description field is populated with the value Residual Risk after applying highest level of Inspection.
  • Total DF Max Exceeded, Mitigation does not help : Indicates that the highest level of inspection cannot mitigate the risk, which is greater than the driving target (Total DF Max). In this case, the Risk Summary Description field is populated with the value Residual Damage Factor after applying highest level of Inspection.
  • Risk within Target, Mitigation not required : Indicates that the risk is below the target, no mitigation is required. In this case, the Risk Summary Description field is populated with the value Risk is less than target hence Inspection not required.
  • Risk exceeded target, but mitigated by inspection : Indicates that the risk exceeds the target, but inspection can mitigate the risk. In this case, the Risk Summary Description field is populated with the value Risk Mitigated after applying required level of Inspection.

RBI Date, Plan Date, and Target Inspection Date

The values in the RBI Date, Plan Date, and Target Inspection Date fields are used to determine the Risk Summary of an analysis.

  • RBI Date : It is the date on which you have started conducting the RBI analysis. By default, it is set to the date on which you create an RBI Analysis.
  • Plan Date : It is the end date of the plan period. By default, this is set to ten years from the RBI date.
  • Target Inspection Date : It is the date on which the risk will first exceed the Risk Targets.

    • If risk exceeds the target on the RBI date, then the Target Inspection Date is set to the RBI Date.
    • If risk does not exceed the target at Plan Date, then the Target Inspection Date is set to the Plan Date.
