RBI Analysis

ReliaSoft’s RBI software facilitates risk based inspection (RBI) analysis for the oil & gas, chemical and power plants in adherence to the principles and guidelines presented in the American Petroleum Institute's recommendations in the API RP 580 and RP 581 publications, as well as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ recommendations in the ASME PCC-3-2007 publication. The following topics will discuss:

• An overview and general background for typical RBI analysis methods.

• Defining the organization's risk tolerance (the same Risk Categories scales will be used for all RBI analyses in the same database).

• Defining the management systems evaluation score (which can be set separately for each analysis project).

• Building the RBI system hierarchy.

• Using the Add RBI Component window and/or the RBI Properties tab to:

• • Set the general properties.

  • Select the applicable damage factors.

  • Set the damage factor properties.

  • Set the consequence properties.

• Viewing the RBI analysis results

RBI also provides special analysis treatment for two specific types of components: HEXTUBES and Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs).
