SAP Location Template
A Location template is the definition and aggregation of fields (SAP Attributes and Indicators), defined in Groups (SAP Attribute and Indicator Groups), then further bundled into Locations Templates. Locations are typically geographic boundary areas such as an Operating Unit, or Site.
The below diagram shows the structure of the Location Template broken down by:
Date, Numeric, Text, CodeLists (Fields) Attributes and Indicators on the far left.
The definition of these fields as Attributes or Indicators, shown in the middle of the digram.
Further aggregating these Fields as “Groups”.
And finally defining one ore more Groups to be part of an Equipment Template, shown in the far right of the diagram.
The below digram places the Structure Diagram in context for a “Crude Unit” location diagram.
SAP System Template
A System template is the definition and aggregation of fields (SAP Attributes and Indicators), defined in Groups (SAP Attribute and Indicator Groups), then further bundled into System Templates. Systems are typically process oriented groupings such as a Corrosion Loop, or Process System.
The below diagram shows the structure of the System Template broken down by:
Date, Numeric, Text, CodeLists (Fields) Attributes and Indicators on the far left.
The definition of these fields as Attributes or Indicators, shown in the middle of the digram.
Further aggregating these Fields as “Groups”.
And finally defining one ore more Groups to be part of an Equipment Template, shown in the far right of the diagram.
The below digram places the Structure Diagram in context for a “Corrosion loop” System diagram.
SAP Equipment Template
An Equipment template is the aggregation of fields (SAP Attributes and Indicators), defined in Categories (SAP Attribute or Indicator Groups), then further bundled into Equipment templates to track key information for Vessels, Pipe, Tanks, etc…
The below diagram shows the structure of the Equipment Template broken down by:
Date, Numeric, Text, CodeLists (Fields) Attributes and Indicators on the far left.
The definition of these fields as Attributes or Indicators, shown in the middle of the digram.
Further aggregating these Fields as “Groups”.
And finally defining one ore more Groups to be part of an Equipment Template, shown in the far right of the diagram.
The below digram places the Structure Diagram in context for a “Vessel” equipment diagram.
SAP ASPM Assessment Template
An Assessment template is comprised of:
Questions and Answers, shown at left of diagram below.
Sections, shown in middle of diagram below. The section is a mechanism to group questions into buckets for Safety, Health, etc..
The Questions, Answers, and Sections are further assigned to a type of Assessment, such as Risk and Criticality, FMEA, RCM, etc..
Based on the Questions and Answers, and the Type of Assessment, the information is tabulated to a Risk Score (far right of below diagram).
The following is an example of the “Risk and Criticality” Assessment Type. The Assessment has:
Two questions of Regulated? and Toxic?, with potential answers.
These two questions are grouped into a Section named “Operations”.
A simple math calculation calculates the Risk Score based on the Risk and Criticality assessment template.
AsInt Inspection Template
The AsInt Inspection Template is an extension of the ASPM Checklist Assessment, for the below diagram assume the Checklist Assessment is utilized.
The items required are:
Equipment Template, e.g. Vessel, Tank, etc…
Checklist Template, e.g. API 510 External
Sections, would be items like a Header, Internals, Insulation, etc..
Questions are the information to collect per section. For example, in the Header, the Inspection form could collect Insulation Type.
Attributes are optional publication of a Question collected in the Inspection, to be populated back to the Equipment record, or Equipment Attribute.
An example of the Inspection Template is described below. It includes:
An Equipment Template of “Vessel”
An Inspection Template of “API 510 External”
Three Sections of:
Header
Insulation
Bolting
Three Questions of:
What is the Scope?
Insulation?
Bolting Equipment?
Three optional Attributes to “Publish” back to the Equipment Vessel of:
Follow Ups
Insulation Type
Follow Ups
A few notes:
“n” number of Sections can be defined.
“n” number of Questions per Section, at-least One Question is required.
“n” number of Attributes can be assigned per Question.
Attributes are optional.
Once the Template is defined, the AsInt End User App will use the Template to store information. In the diagram below, the “Header” and the “Checklist” section are defined within the Template as “Sections”.
The End User App further allows the user to record Notifications, Attach Documents, and record CML (Condition Monitor Locations) readings.
AsInt RBI Template
The AsInt RBI template is an extension of the SAP ASPM Checklist. The below diagram shows the data from from:
Equipment Template, e.g. Vessel, Tank, etc…
Checklist Template, e.g. API 5813rd
Sections are used to represent Damage Mechanisms and Consequence Categories, such as Internal Corrosion, Thinning, Loss of Containment, etc…
Sub Sections allow for a further breakdown in the Section to Inputs, Intermediate Calcs, Hidden, or Outputs.
SAP Attribute and Indicators are further mapped to the Sections and Sub Sections. These values are mapped to the RBI Algorithm.
The below diagram provides an example of a RBI model for a Vessel. For the below diagram:
“Vessel” is the Equipment Template
“Vessel 581 3rd” is the Assessment Template
“Thinning” and “Containment” are Sections
Inputs, Intermediate Calcs, Hidden, and Outputs are Sub Categories
The far right fields (Diameter, Nominal, Type, Fluid, etc..), are SAP Attributes and Indicators.
