Setting up Asset Integrity Groups

Integrity group is identified on asset types, providing an easy mechanism to group similar assets. For example, integrity groups can be created for piping systems, vessels, and heat exchangers.

In risk analyses, integrity groups are used in inspection factor matrices to help determine a failure mode’s Inspection Factor, Inspection Strategy, and Inspection Interval as a result of confidence evaluations.

Once integrity groups are set up, you can specify which asset types use which groups. For more information, see **Setting up Asset Types.
