Special Notes/ Foreword / Introduction / Purpose Flashcards
API RP 580 is intended to provide guidance on developing a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
program for ,,,,,, and ,,,, and ,,,,
fixed equipment
piping in the hydrocarbon
chemical process industries
This RP is intended to supplement ,,,,, / ,,,,,,,/ and ,,,,,,
API 510
API 570
API 653
The RBI assessment shall based on ,,,,, and ,,,,,,
probability of failure (POF)
associated consequence of failure (COF)
The RBI assessment shall ,,,,,, evaluate both ,,,,,,
systematically
POF & COF
RBI Assessment:
The POF assessment should be evaluated by considering all credible ,,,,,,,
damage mechanisms
Users of this RP are reminded that no book or manual is a substitute for the judgment of ,,,,,, / ,,,, or ,,,,,,
a responsible,
qualified inspector
engineer
This RP, contains both minimum program requirements to qualify for establishing inspection intervals based on, ,,,,,,;and ,,,,,,,,,
(RBI) analysis &
Rule-based (e.g. 1 /2 life) requirements
This RP by provide additional suggested guidelines by considering both programs ( RBI analysis ) to develop ,,,,,
an effective inspection plan
The use of risk-based methodologies for inspection planning is not,,,,,,; they are optional,
compulsory
Inspection planning is a,,,,,,,,, process that begins with identification of,,,,,, and culminates in an inspection plan
systematic
facilities or equipment
The output of an RBI assessment conducted according to this RP is
an inspection plan for each piece or group of equipment assessed
The RBI plan produced according to the guidance herein combined with IOW & MOC for each process unit should provide the basis for sound management of ,,,,,,,
the integrity of fixed equipment in the refining and petrochemical process industry
RBI is synonymous with,,,,,, /,,,, and ,,,, using risk-based methods.
risk-prioritized inspection,
risk-informed inspection
with inspection planning
The purpose of this document is to provide users with the basic minimum and recommended elements for,,,,,, a RBI program
developing,
implementing, and
maintaining
The approach of this RP emphasizes ,,,, and ,,,,operation through ,,,,,
safe & reliable
risk-prioritized inspection
Data Requirements:
Data inputs and assumptions shall be validated by qualified personnel such as ,,,,,,to review operating parameters used
process engineer/operator
Damage Mechanisms and Failure Modes:
The RBI team shall consult with a corrosion specialist to define the equipment ,,,,,/,,,,,,,,/ and ,,,,,,,,
damage mechanisms, damage modes (optional), potential failure modes
Damage Mechanisms and Failure Modes:
A qualified ,,,,,,,, shall be responsible for assessing the types of damage mechanisms and their
applicability and severity to the equipment considering the process conditions, environment, metallurgy, age, and other relevant data pertaining to of the equipment
corrosion specialist
POF analysis requirements:
The POF analysis shall address all ,,,,, and
- credible damage mechanisms
- situation can be susceptible to damage mechanisms
POF analysis requirements:
Combinations of process conditions and existing materials of construction for each equipment item shall be evaluated to identify ,,,, and ,,,,,
active
credible damage mechanisms
COF analysis requirements:
COF calculations steps shall be performed to estimate the consequences that are likely to occur due to ,,,, typically resulting from an,,,,,,,
a failure mode
identified damage mechanism(s)
COF analysis requirements:
The major factors to consider in evaluating the consequences of failure shall include;
1- flammable events (fire and explosion)
2- toxic releases
3- releases of other hazardous fluids
Requirements for evaluation of risk:
Risk shall be determined by combining ,,,,,
POF & COF
Requirements for evaluation of risk:
The general form of the risk equation shall be as ,,,,
Risk = Probability × Consequence
Requirements for evaluation of risk:
Overall risk shall include the probability of ,,,,,
loss of containment
Output requirements:
The inspection strategy shall be a ,,,,,,to assure that inspection activities are continually focused on items with higher risk
documented, iterative process
Output requirements:
Inspection results shall be used as ,,,,, in assessing remaining life and future inspection plans
variables
RBI Benefits and Limitations:
The primary work of the RBI assessment are ,,,,, that address ways ,,,,, on an individual equipment level
plans
to manage risks
RBI Benefits and Limitations:
RBI plans should include ,,,,, along
with ,,,,,.
cost-effective actions
projected risk mitigation
RBI Benefits and Limitations:
RBI is based on ,,,,, risk assessment and management principles
sound, proven
