General Properties
The General Properties tab contains properties that are later used both for the potential screening of possible damage factors and the screening of possible consequences, as well as for calculations of failure and consequence.
Note: These properties also appear in the Add RBI Component window when adding a component to the system hierarchy.
Note the following:
-
The Material of Construction and Processed Fluid Type fields are optional. For each field, if you select an option, the software will hide the non-relevant damage factors on the Damage Factors Selection tab. If the applicable construction material or fluid type is not shown in the drop-down list, then leave the field blank.
-
The Operating Temperature value must be >= -250 and <= 1,000 degrees Celsius or the equivalent in other units.
-
The Operating Pressure value must be >= 101,325 pascals or the equivalent in other units. If you accept the default (i.e., atmospheric pressure) then the component is treated as being non-pressurized.
Note: For Tank650 equipment, if a COURSE or TANKBOTTOM component is not pressurized then the analysis is simplified and has fewer consequence properties.
-
Use the Date of Component Installation to specify when the component was installed in the system. It must be before the current date.
-
Use the Plan Date to specify the date when the component is scheduled to be maintained. It must be later than the current date.
If desired, you can use the Notes column, 
, to
record any notes about the information supplied. These notes appear only
in the RBI Properties tab and are not displayed in any reports. Double-click
inside the cell to open the Notes window. An icon in the cell indicates
that notes have been saved for that field.
IMPORTANT: If you change a measurement unit, you must also manually change the specified value, as the RBI software will not change the values.
