API 580 - PURPOSE API 580 - 11 Terms

The document describes the purpose and elements of API 580, which provides guidance for developing and implementing risk-based inspection programs. API 580 aims to help users safely and reliably operate pressure-containing equipment by providing a framework for assessing risks, determining inspection plans, and continuously improving safety. It allows users to focus inspection and maintenance on higher-risk equipment only. The key outputs are risk-prioritized inspection plans and schedules for each piece of equipment.

PURPOSE API 580 – 11 terms


The purpose of the API 580 is to:

1)  Provide  users  with  the  basic  elements  for  developing,  implementing,  and  maintaining  a  risk-­‐based  
inspection  (RBI)  program,  and  It  provides  guidance  to  owners,  operators,  and  designers  of  pressure-­‐
containing  equipment  for  developing  and  implementing  an  inspection  program.  
2)  Provide  users  with  the  safe  and  reliability  actions  
3)  Provide  users  with  the  COF  and  POF  necessary  
4)  Provide  users  with  the  risk  and  mitigating  actions    

These guidelines include ________________________________________________________________


A spectrum of complementary risk analysis approaches (qualitative through fully quantitative) can
be considered as part of the inspection planning process.

a)  means  for  assessing  an  inspection  program  and  its  plan.  The  approach  emphasizes  safe  and  reliable  
operation  through  risk-­‐prioritized  inspection.  
b)  means  for  evaluate  the  plants  and  refinery  
c)  means  for  analysis  of  finite  elements  
d)  means  for  fatigue  analysis    

The elements that includes the guide of API 580 are except:

a)  Understanding  the  design  premise;  


b)  Planning  the  RBI  assessment;  
c)  Data  and  information  collection;  
d)  Identifying  damage  mechanisms  and  failure  modes;  
e)  Assessing  probability  of  failure  (POF);  
f)  Assessing  COF;  
g)  Risk  determination,  assessment,  and  management;  
h)  Risk  management  with  inspection  activities  and  process  control;  
i)  Other  risk  mitigation  activities;  
j)  Reassessment  and  updating;  
k)  Roles,  responsibilities,  training,  and  qualifications;  
l)  Documentation  and  recordkeeping.  
m)  Data  of  market  share    

The expected outcome from the application of the RBI process is except:

a)  The  linkage  of  risks  with  appropriate  inspection,  process  control  or  other  risk  mitigation  activities  to  
manage  the  risks  
b)  The  linkage  of  COF  and  POF  
c)  The  linkage  of  risk  and  mitigating  actions  
d)  The  linkage  of  quantitative  and  qualitative  methods    

The RBI process is capable of except:


a)  A  ranking  by  relative  risk  of  all  equipment  evaluated;  
b)  A  detailed  description  of  the  inspection  plan  to  be  employed  for  each  equipment  item,  including:  a.  
inspection  method(s)  that  should  be  used  [e.g.  visual,  ultrasonic  (UT),  radiography,  wet  fluorescent  
magnetic  particle];  b.  extent  of  application  of  the  inspection  method(s)  (e.g.  percent  of  total  area  
examined  or  specific  locations);  c.  timing  of  inspections/examinations  (inspection  intervals/due  dates);  d.  
risk  management  achieved  through  implementation  of  the  inspection  plan;  
c)  A  description  of  any  other  risk  mitigation  activities  [such  as  repairs,  replacements  or  safety  equipment  
upgrades,  equipment  redesign  or  maintenance,  integrity  operating  windows  (IOWs),  and  controls  on  
operating  conditions];  
d)  The  expected  risk  levels  of  all  equipment  after  the  inspection  plan  and  other  risk  mitigation  activities  
have  been  implemented;  
e)  Identification  of  risk  drivers.  
f)  Dow  Jones  and  Wall  Street  analysis    

The primary work products of the RBI assessment and management approach is:

a)  Plans  that  address  ways  to  manage  risks  on  an  equipment  level.  These  equipment  plans  highlight  risks  
from  a  safety/health/environment  perspective  and/or  from  an  economic  standpoint.  RBI  plans  should  
include  cost-­‐effective  actions  along  with  a  projected  risk  mitigation.  
b)  Linkage  in  POF  and  COF  
c)  Linkage  in  qualitative  and  quantitative  data  
d)  Linkage  in  risk  and  mitigating  methods    

What provides the Implementation of these plans is except:

a)  An  overall  reduction  in  risk  for  the  facilities  and  equipment  assessed,  
b)  An  acceptance/understanding  of  the  current  risk.  
c)  Identify  equipment  that  does  not  require  inspection  or  some  other  form  of  mitigation  because  of  the  
acceptable  level  of  risk  associated  with  the  equipment's  current  operation.  In  this  way,  inspection  and  
maintenance  activities  can  be  focused  and  more  cost  effective.  This  often  results  in  a  significant  reduction  
in  the  amount  of  inspection  data  that  is  collected.  This  focus  on  a  smaller  set  of  data  should  result  in  more  
accurate  information.  In  some  cases,  in  addition  to  risk  reductions  and  process  safety  improvements,  RBI  
plans  may  result  in  cost  reductions.  
d)  Evaluate  of  reliability  and  market  share  data    

RBI is based on sound, proven risk assessment and management principles. Nonetheless, RBI will
not compensate for what?

c)  Inaccurate  or  missing  information,  


d)  Inadequate  designs  or  faulty  equipment  installation,  
e)  Operating  outside  the  acceptable  IOWs,  
f)  Not  effectively  executing  the  plans,  
g)  Lack  of  qualified  personnel  or  teamwork,  
h)  Lack  of  sound  engineering  or  operational  judgment.  
i)  Dow  Jones  and  Wall  Street  analysis    

1.3 Using RBI as a Continuous Improvement Tool


Utilization of RBI provides a vehicle for continuously improving the inspection of facilities and
systematically reducing the risk associated with pressure boundary failures. As new data (such as
inspection results and industry experiences with similar processes) becomes available or when
changes occur (e.g. operating conditions), reassessment of the RBI program can be made that will
provide a refreshed view of the risks. Risk management plans should then be adjusted appropriately.
RBI offers the added advantage of _________________________________ In cases where technology
cannot adequately and/or cost-effectively mitigate risks, other risk mitigation approaches can be
implemented. RBI should serve to guide the direction of inspection technology development, and
hopefully promote a faster and broader deployment of emerging inspection technologies as well as
proven inspection technologies that may be available but are underutilized.

a)  identifying  gaps  or  shortcomings  in  the  effectiveness  of  commercially  available  inspection  technologies  
and  applications.  
b)  linking  in  the  POF  and  COF  
c)  linking  in  the  mitigating  risk  and  risk  
d)  linking  in  the  sensitivity  analysis  and  COF  analysis    

RBI is a risk assessment and management tool that


addresses_____________________________________ Integration of these risk management efforts,
including RBI, is key to the success of a risk management program. RBI produces inspection and
maintenance plans for equipment that identify the actions that should be taken to provide reliable
and safe operation. The RBI effort can provide input into an organization's annual planning and
budgeting that define the staffing and funds required to maintain equipment operation at acceptable
levels of performance and risk.

a)  an  area  of  risk  management  not  completely  addressed  in  other  organizational  risk  management  efforts  
such  as  process  hazards  analyses  (PHA),  IOWs  or  reliability  centered  maintenance  (RCM).    
b)  POF  and  COF  
c)  Risk  and  cost  
d)  PHA  and  PSM    

RBI needs to be integrated with a management system for


_______________________________________

a)  defining  and  maintaining  IOWs  as  well  as  a  robust  management  of  change  (MOC)  process  as  a  basis  for  
managing  and  controlling  damage  mechanisms  in  fixed  equipment.  
b)  linking  in  the  POF  and  COF  
c)  linking  in  the  risk  and  cost  
d)  linking  in  the  PHA  and  PSM
