VB-R33 RBI PoF
RBI Probability of Failure - Damage Factors

September 19 - 21, 2012
ISIM Timisoara Romania

Lecturer: Petar Stanojević

The focus of the course is on the damage mechanisms appearing in different industries and their influence to the calculation of probability of failure of equipment. A large number of well elaborated examples are included.

At the end of the course students are expected to have basic knowledge about:

• main principles of the RBI
• Damage Factors used in RBI PoF Analysis

The course is dedicated to:

• engineers, managers, inspectors, legislators (university level)
• engineers working in maintenance petroleum/power/process industry
• other professionals dealing with risk and safety in industry
• university students of Steinbeis Master of Risk Engineering and Management program and similar programs

SHB Course V-R33 RBI PoF, RBI Probability of failure - Damage Factors
(RiskROM, Module III Determination of probability of failure in an API RBI assessment - Damage Factors)

For each damage factor following issues will be treated:

• overview on the degradation mechanism
• description of degradation
• preliminary analysis criteria (screening)
• required data
• effectiveness of inspection
