Creating and Defining Corrosion Loops

To create a CL: Go to the IMS Main Menu. Click Corrosion Loops to go to the Corrosion Loop Main Screen (Grid List) . Click the Plus button to create a new CL. Go to the CL main menu and click + .   Enter the required data ...

After you have created the Corrosion Loop the CL must be further defined in the CL Details Page. To define the CL, gather and capture the information needed to define the CL Boundaries (see Corrosion Loops (CLs) - Theory ), the CL process, and th...

When IOWs are defined, variables with their limits and instruments are added to the Corrosion Loop (PEI Equipment) or System  (PLSS Equipment). Defining IOWs You can define a IOW (and link to its CL/System) either via the IOW Main Screen o...

Based on the information gathered to define the Corrosion Loop Process and Potential DMs , the DMs can now be identified and defined for the CL. (See also Step 2 Identify Threats and Barriers (Define the CL) .) To add a DM: Open the CL Details ...

To add notes to a DM or Barrier in the CL: Open the CL Details Page (see IMS Details Page ) and go to the Degradation Management section. Click the Notes  button on the appropriate DM or Barrier card. To add Notes click the Notes butt...

Deleting Barriers and DMs (not yet in scope of a Schedule) To delete a DM or a Barrier or Note in the CL: Open the CL Details Page (see IMS Details Page ) and go to the Degradation Management section. Click x on the specific card. ...

For each of the DMs Defined in the CL one or more Barrier should be in place and also defined in the CL. (See also Step 2 Identify Threats and Barriers (Define the CL) .) Ideally, to be able to verify the Barriers, all Barriers should also b...

It is possible to copy one or more DMs with an associated Barriers to another CL. To copy DM-Barrier combinations to a destination CL: Open the CL Details Page (see IMS Details Page ). First change the Degradation Management  section’s vi...

If a Component is linked to a Circuit (i.e. set to inherit the Circuit information), that Circuit will automatically also be linked to the Component’s CL (see Relationship between CLs, Components and Circuits  ).  It is also possible to ...

After Defining the DMs and Barriers , Components must still be assigned to the CL. The CL describes a group of Components. Thus, to completely define the CL, the related (S-RBI) Components must be assigned to the CL. Thereafter it is possible to ...

After the CL has been defined and the Components assigned to the CL , then the first step of an RBI analysis is to assign DMs to the Component, since the RBI analysis takes place on Component level, per Degradation Mechanism . Assigning DM...
