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

2.3 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

2.3 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.

2.4 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.

2.4 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

3 Data Quality

2. Data inputs and assumptions shall be validated by

qualified personnel such as process engineer/operator

7.3 Data Quality

reasons for inspection data quality errors

a) outdated drawings and
b) errors within inspection planning,
c) clerical and data
d) measurement equipment
e) wrong assumptions on

a) documentation;
b) execution, and documentation;
c) transcription errors;
d) accuracy.
e) equipment history (example: substitute base line thickness for nominal thickness)

7.3 Data Quality

Important points in the integrity mechanical calculations

It is very important the correct accuracy the

remaining life and corrosion rates.

7.3 Data Quality

Important points in the integrity mechanical calculations

Sometimes it is necessary compare the results with previous measurements on

that system, similar systems at the site, or within the company or published data.

7.3 Data Quality

Important points in the integrity mechanical calculations

This data validation step is necessary for the

quality of any inspection program, not just RBI.

4 Codes and Standards—National and International

1. The selection and type of codes and standards used by a facility it is necessary and

can have a significant impact on RBI results

7.5 Sources of Site-specific Data and Information

It is important to stress that the precision of the data
should

match the complexity of the RBI method used

5 Sources of Site-specific Data and Information

2. It may be advantageous to combine RBI data gathering with

other risk/hazard analysis data gathering [e.g. PHA, RCM, etc)
