Thickness Measurement System is a method for using risk as a basis for prioritizing and managing the efforts of an inspection program. In an operating plant, a relatively large percentage of the risk is associated with a small percentage of the equipment items. Thickness Measurement System permits the shift of inspection and maintenance resources to provide a higher level of coverage on the high-risk items and an appropriate effort on lower risk equipment. This system provides companies the opportunity to prioritize their equipment for inspection; optimize inspection methods, frequencies and resources; develop specific equipmentinspectionplans, and enable the implementation of equipmentmaintenance. This results in improvedsafety, lower failure risks, fewer forced shutdowns, and reduced operational costs This project work around on how to develop the software so that it can be easily use. This project use Visual Basic.Net for the interface and software implementation and SQL server as database. API RP 580 Risk Base Inspection and API RP 581 RBI Base Resource Document are the reference documents.
