1 With increasing pressure to optimize costs, as well as regulatory constraints, it is critical that inspection and maintenance capabilities are streamlined to deliver the utmost efficiency and actionable insights. Balancing inspection costs with regulatory compliance can only be achieved by understanding the risk that an asset could potentially pose to a manufacturing facility. APM Integrity, from GE Digital, part of our on-premise Asset Performance Management solution suite, offers the key work processes to calculate risk and drive an overall Mechanical Integrity (MI) program to ensure that inspection strategies are evaluated as equipment conditions change, to ensure fixed assets keep running safely and effectively. With the APM Integrity solution, organizations can: Rank equipment based on risk using globally accepted methodologies Develop and implement inspection plans using client-defined inspection strategies Execute inspection tasks in the field and document activities using mobile device in offline mode Store thickness readings and carry out detailed corrosion analysis. Facilitate compliance and manage risk at an optimum level using configurable reports, metrics and key performance indicators Trigger to re-analyze integrity risk, based on real-time data field information and intelligent actions executed on pre-defined conditions APM On Premise APM Health Health manager Rounds Calibration management APM Foundation APM Reliability Reliability analysis Root cause analysis Production loss accounting Criticality Analysis Policy Designer APM Metrics APM Integrity Risk based inspection Inspection management Thickness monitoring APM Connect Plus EAM Adapters - Base ASI for SAP APM Strategy RCM / FMEA Strategy Library Strategy manager Lifecycle cost analysis OPC Adaptor Languages APM Safety Hazards analysis SIS management Management of change SmartSignal Protective diagnostics Digital twin blueprints The APM Integrity solution drives closed loop inspection strategies that helps improve safety, containment reliability, and environmental compliance in high-risk industrial environments by profiling asset corrosion and containment threats and prioritizing risk mitigation strategies based on failure probabilities and consequences. APM Integrity supports repeatable best practices and promotes improved results.

2 Risk Based Inspection Risk Based Inspection for fixed and linear assets Since many inspection programs are mandated by regulatory agencies with the power to apply significant penalties for non-compliance, many organizations are turning to Risk Based Inspection (RBI) as preferred methodology and a key component of their overall Mechanical Integrity program. APM s RBI methodology is based on and has been certified as complying with American Petroleum Institute API-RP 580 and 581. This provides the ability to assess the likelihood and consequences of failure to optimize inspection rigor based on overall risk. The visual surveillance and inspection of both fixed and linear assets is a critical element in assessing the current condition of the asset and avoiding equipment failures. RBI can be seamlessly integrated into inspection management and maintenance programs. New in v4.3, RBI has been enhanced to include: ISO Risk Graph which helps analysts visualize the RBI-581 results against a target Ability to bulk calculate multiple analyses as a back-end job, substantially improving the productivity of a analyst Corrosion Engineering is the foundational component behind APM Integrity s RBI approach. The key steps in this phase include: Definition of corrosion loops Assignment of potential degradation mechanisms (PDM) Defining the integrity operating windows (IOWs) for the PDMs effecting the asset Management of equipment design and process data Also new in V4.3 is enhanced integration of the risk-based inspection module with our thickness monitoring module which provides the flexibility to pull additional measured corrosion in from the thickness monitoring module, for calculating the probability of failure for thinning damage mechanisms. This allows an analyst to calculate more accurate probability of failure for thinning damage mechanisms. Risk calculations in RBI leverage the data captured from the corrosion engineering process as well as the current and past results of inspections and thickness monitoring programs to build integrity assurance. IOWs are established using relevant information from process historians and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems.

3 Inspection Management Inspection planning, execution, and analysis for fixed and linear assets The Inspection Management capability provides the capability to drive large-scale inspection programs and helps facilitate compliance with federal, state, and local requirements including the API standards. Inspection Management allows asset owners and operators to manage inspection plans, document the condition of an asset, and track inspection recommendations to closure from a single source. Inspection Management provides a complete view of the inspection program through integrations with Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems and other APM solutions. Inspection Planning defines the overall inspection strategy for an asset, the objective of the strategy, and the frequency of inspections, as well as the resources responsible for successful execution of the inspections. Inspection Scope identifies the asset and all its sub-components that should be inspected as well as the inspection methods to be used. Inspection Workflow Management includes tools for review, approval, enhancements, record locking, and publishing of all inspections, as required by the organization s processes and practices. Unique among mechanical integrity solutions, inspection management provides ability to capture the inspection confidence/effectiveness for the potential degradation mechanisms. Inspection Alerts allow for quick visibility into inspection programs with notifications to inspectors, supervisors, compliance managers, and others as defined conditions arise. Inspector Qualifications and Inspection Results are legal documentation and associated certifications that are stored within the application when inspections are performed. Inspection results and associated documentation are formatted for viewing or printing as Inspection Reports. Mobile Inspections The inspection of equipment condition is critical for the detection and prevention of equipment failures and risk mitigation. Mobile inspections enable inspectors to capture real-time data electronically in the field using a tablet or mobile device without being connected to a network. New in V4.3, you can now download reference documents, images, and inspection history to be used in offline mode while conducting an inspection as well as the ability to add, modify, and delete inspection recommendations while offline. You can also now view, generate, configure, and download PDF versions of inspection reports and inspection history reports to use offline. Once back in range of the network all data captured and manipulated while in the field is seamlessly synced back to the APM system. Mobile Inspection is the key component to digitizing and streamlining data access and capture within an inspection work process.

4 Thickness Monitoring Thickness measurement and analysis for fixed and linear assets Effective thickness monitoring [measurement] activities are an essential component of a Mechanical Integrity program. They help eliminate equipment failures that result in unplanned downtime, reduced production rates, safety and environmental incidents that hurt the organization s reputation and brand. The Thickness Monitoring capability provides the capability to manage large-scale corrosion and thickness measurement programs for fixed equipment such as pipelines, piping, vessels, exchangers, tanks, boilers, pressure relief devices, etc. Key elements of Thickness Monitoring include the ability to calculate the minimum thickness required to safely operate the equipment, thickness measurement data management, and corrosion rate analysis, as well as next-inspection and retirement- date calculations. These calculated values can be seamlessly integrated back into the EAM/CMMS system and other APM solutions. Thickness Monitoring Planning defines the overall thickness monitoring strategy for an asset, including the calculation methods, default inspection intervals, and minimum corrosion rates, as well as the resources responsible for successful execution of the inspections. Corrosion Analysis provides comprehensive drill-down to the measurement locations for visibility into corrosion rate details and trends, current findings, and calculated next inspection date. Pressure Minimum Thickness Calculator evaluates the minimum wall thickness of an asset and, combined with current corrosion rates, determines the estimated remaining life and projected retirement date for an asset. Thickness Measurement Location Management governs thickness measurement locations assigned to assets, including information about sequence, location, design attributes and status. This provides quick identification of potential issues within the thickness monitoring program. Half-Life Charts and Measurement Trends provide visibility to the measurement data over time, along with the option to view the controlling corrosion rate associated with the thickness measurement location. Thickness Monitoring offers seamless integration with many UT field measurement devices such as those manufactured by GE and Olympus. Thickness inspection results and associated documentation are formatted for viewing or printing capability. APM Integrity drives the effective and safe risk management of fixed and linear assets with criticality and risk rankings, effective inspection planning, compliance management and dynamic integrity and risk reviews based on real-time field data. The effective use of these tools in conjunction with a comprehensive APM initiative improves safety, containment reliability and environmental compliance.
