Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs)

CMLs are designated points on assets (pipelines, pressure vessels, or other critical assets) where thickness measurements are taken over time to monitor corrosion, erosion, or other degradations. They help to assess equipment health and drive predictive maintenance strategies.

To monitor asset condition through critical parameters e.g., Tmin (Thickness Minimum) & MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure) enabling proactive maintenance and extending asset life.

The trending feature allows you to graph and track historical data of CMLs and assess the remaining life of assets. By visualizing data over time, you can identify patterns and trends in corrosion or wear, allowing for early issue detection and more accurate predictions of asset longevity.

By analyzing thickness trends at CMLs, user can predict when repairs will be needed, reducing unplanned downtime and improving reliability. This predictive approach helps reduce downtime and avoid costly emergency repairs, making maintenance efforts more efficient.

You can create a CML within the AsInt platform by designating specific regions on your assets, such as pipelines or pressure vessels. During creation, you can set parameters like the Thickness Minimum and Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) to ensure that the asset operates within safe limits.

Yes, the trending feature allows you to access and analyze historical CML data. This includes tracking corrosion rates, damage progression, and the remaining life of assets. With this data, you can make data-driven decisions and improve asset management strategies.

Yes, you can manage multiple CMLs across different assets. Whether you’re monitoring pipelines, pressure vessels, or other equipment, you can set up and track CMLs specific to each asset, providing a comprehensive view of their health and performance over time.

Yes, you can manage and trend multiple CMLs across different equipment for a complete asset health overview.

Thickness Minimum (Tmin): The minimum wall thickness required to maintain asset integrity.
MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure): The highest pressure an asset can safely handle, calculated based on the Tmin and design criteria.

The frequency of inspections will depend on the asset’s usage, environment, and risk factors. Typically, regular monitoring should occur based on the asset’s criticality and the rate of corrosion or damage observed in past readings. You can set reminders or schedules for inspections within the app to ensure timely checks.

It allows you to:

• Track corrosion rates
• Reassign or consolidate redundant CMLs
• Manage anomalies proactively based on measured data

Accurate CML selection ensures:

• Targeted inspection coverage
• Early detection of corrosion
• Data-driven integrity assessments

Absolutely. You can set Tmin and track thickness measurements independently of RBI to monitor asset life and make maintenance decisions.
