Equipment
Facility Health
Overall facility health can be viewed at a glance with charts showing a summary of the corrosion health of major component categories on the platform.
Facility health is segmented into four categories which are separated by part type. These parts are further segmented according to the corrosion severity of the part.
Equipment Details
Below the Facility Health you can view corrosion state by individual line and pressure vessel number.
There are some standardized fields and some customizable fields in the equipment table.
Standardized Fields:
Equipment - based on line/vessel number in P&IDs
Detail - clicking on the detail on a line will show all of the parts on the line, allowing you to select images where the part is visible.
Corrosion state - describes the level of corrosion on the line, the level of corrosion for each label will be based on the client standard and framework agreed upon with Abyss.
Customized Fields will be described according to the framework agreed upon with Abyss.
