Corrosion loop
Encyclopedia
Corrosion loop are systemised analysis "loops" used during Risk-based inspection analysis.
Both terms “RBI Corrosion loops” or “RBI corrosion circuits” are generic terms used to indicate the systemisation of piping systems into usable and understandable parts associated with corrosion.
Systemised piping loops or circuits are systems used in Risk Based Inspection analysis to assess the likelihood and consequence of failure.
Other systemisations may also prove useful, such as, i.e. inspection, consequence, materials of construction and chemistry.
The system (or sub systems)maybe used to identify, pressure / temperature, subsequent failure mechanism and possible failure rate.
They may be based upon Construction drawings, Process Flow diagrams or Piping & Instrument diagrams as required. Each loop or circuit maybe identified using a unique code, with description about; process, material & degradation mode, material, cladding, C.A, specs.

the terms analysis and synthesis come from Greek where they mean respectively "to take apart" and "to put together". See also systems theory

Note the exact definition of the systemised risk analysis " loop" is left to the reader and their requirements of the system analysis required, however to ensure consistency and that the expected results is produced, this should be defined before they are constructed.
It is suggested that a “true” corrosion loop should be a grouping were the degradation mechanism is "likely" to be the same i.e.
By defining the barrier limits of Damage Susceptible Areas, the susceptibility of any part is similar to that of the whole.

System model
A system model is the conceptual model that describes and represents a system. A system comprises multiple views such as planning, requirement , design, implementation, deployment, structure, behavior, input data, and output data views...

System analysis
System analysis in the field of electrical engineering characterizes electrical systems and their properties. System Analysis can be used to represent almost anything from population growth to audio speakers, electrical engineers often use it because of its direct relevance to many areas of their...

Systems theory
Systems theory is the transdisciplinary study of systems in general, with the goal of elucidating principles that can be applied to all types of systems at all nesting levels in all fields of research...

It is suggested that a “true” corrosion loop should be a grouping were the degradation mechanism is "likely" to be the same i.e.
- Material of Construction,
- Process fluid (similar stream properties),
- Temperature (roughly, or at least within the damage mechanisms susceptibility thresholds),
- Pressure (if the damage mechanism/s of concern is/are reliant upon pressure), and
- Velocity (again (if the damage mechanism of concern is reliant upon velocity).
By defining the barrier limits of Damage Susceptible Areas, the susceptibility of any part is similar to that of the whole.
