RBI Concept & Requirements Details

A Semi-Quantitative Approach Development for Risk-Based Inspection in a Petrochemical Plant

The provided method in this study is a management tool to recognize and then prioritize the equipment’s risks and, consequently, propose an inspection plan based on these risks. In fact, it is a risk analysis aspect of an inspection plan for industrial equipment. The study is performed on de-ethanizer unit, considering variety of process equipment including distillation tower, exchanger, pressure vessel, drum, and related piping.

ASME PCC-3 - Inspection Planning Using Risk-Based Methods

This Standard provides information on using risk analysis to develop and plan an effective inspection strategy. Inspection planning is a systematic process that begins with identification of facilities or equipment and culminates in an inspection plan. Both the probability of failure and the consequence of failure should be evaluated by considering all credible damage mechanisms that could be expected to affect the facilities or equipment.

DNVGL-RP-C302 Risk Based on Corrosion Management

This RP discusses an approach to corrosion management based on risk management principles as defined below. Risk-based management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative), followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities.

Strategies for Risk Based Inspection of Corrosion Damage in Pipeline Systems

Pipes and other assets at oil refineries are subject to internal corrosion over time. The corrosion can, if not carefully monitored, cause leakages and other substantial and costly damages. Regular inspection of the pipes is therefore necessary to monitor the corrosion development. However, inspections are also costly and time-consuming, and for these reasons the aim of performing a risk-based inspection is presented
