- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.1 General
- For each RBI approach it is important to document all bases for the study and
assumptions from the onset and to apply a consistent rationale
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.1 General
- Documentation of unique equipment and piping identifiers is
a good starting point for any level of study
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.1 General
- The equipment should also correspond to
a unique group or location

- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.2 Data Needs for Qualitative RBI
- That items required only need to be categorized into
broad ranges or classified versus a reference point.
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.2 Data Needs for Qualitative RBI
- Higher level of judgment, skill, and understanding from
the user than a more quantitative approach
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.2 Data Needs for Qualitative RBI
- it is important to have qualified persons perform
the qualitative RBI analysis
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.3 Data Needs for Quantitative RBI
- Uses logic models depicting combinations of events that could result in severe accidents and
physical models depicting the progression of accidents and the transport of a hazardous material to the environment
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.3 Data Needs for Quantitative RBI
- The models are evaluated probabilistically to provide a level of risk and
to identify the design, site, or operational characteristics that are the most important to risk.
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.3 Data Needs for Quantitative RBI
- Detailed information and data are
needed for a fully quantitative RBI
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.4 Data Needs for Semi-quantitative RBI
- Typically requires the same type of data as a quantitative analysis, but
generally not as
detailed. For example, the fluid volumes may be estimated.
- 2 RBI Data Needs
- 2.4 Data Needs for Semi-quantitative RBI
- the time required for data gathering and analysis will be less than
quantitative analysis; however, that does not mean that the analysis will be less accurate
- 3 Data Quality
1. Quality of input data is equally important
no matter what approach to RBI is selected
