Define minimum and maximum measurement values for the equipment. When inspection aspect measurements exceed acceptable values, the system automatically generates work orders to correct the problems. Inspection aspect point information is similar to the information on the Aspect page but is specific for an aspect/point combination.
To define equipment inspection aspect points:
-
Select Work > Inspections > Monitored Data.
-
Select the equipment, equipment class, or equipment category for which to enter aspect point information, and then click the Aspect Points tab.
-
Click Add Aspect Point.
-
Specify this information:
Aspect - Specify the inspection aspect with which to associate the aspect point.
Point - Specify the point with which to associate the aspect point. Point Type and the point type description are automatically populated.
Point Type - Specify the point type with which to associate the aspect point.
Method - Specify the inspection method for the aspect as necessary.
Nominal Value - Specify the starting value or normal value and unit of measure for measurements on this aspect point. For example, if a new pipe’s wall thickness is 3 mm, the nominal value is 3 and the unit of measure is mm.
Min. Extreme - Specify the minimum extreme value beyond the operating specifications for the aspect point.
Min. Extreme must be less than Min. Critical.
Min. Critical - Specify the lowest possible value for the aspect point.
Min. Critical must be less than the Nominal Value.
Min. Tolerance - Specify the minimum percentage of critical value for the aspect point.
Min. Std. WO - Specify a standard work order to restore normal operating conditions when the minimum critical value is reached.
Min. PM - Specify a preventive maintenance work order to restore normal operating conditions when the minimum critical value is reached.
Max. Extreme - Specify the maximum extreme value beyond the operating specifications for the aspect point.
Max. Extreme must be greater than or equal to the Min. Extreme and Max. Critical.
Max. Critical - Specify the highest possible value for the aspect point.
Max. Critical must be greater than the Nominal Value and greater than or equal to Min. Critical.
Max. Tolerance - Specify the maximum percentage of critical value for the aspect point.
Max. Std. WO - Specify a standard work order to restore normal operating conditions when the maximum critical value is reached.
Max. PM - Specify a preventive maintenance work order to restore normal operating conditions when the maximum critical value is reached.
