ASME RAM-2-2016 pdf free download.Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability Program Development Process for Existing Power Plants.
A reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) program is a structured way to identify and deliver the RAM requirements of a power plant In the most cost-eftective manner. This Standard provides guidance for the program implementation portion of the RAM process described in ASME RAM-i. It Is intended to implement a comprehensive availability assurance program. This Standard is intended for existing facilities.
2 SCOPE
This Standard amplifies and clarifies the requirements of ASME RAM-i for implementing a RAM program for a power-generation facility. This Standard assists in developing program goals, identifying a master equipment list (MEL) to load into the enterprise asset management system (EAMS), and populating scheduling systems with finished content as complete work orders that are ready to perform work. A RAM program includes hierarchical breakdown of the facility, tagging of equipment (i.e.. components), risk categorization of systems and equipment tags, development of common standards for components, and customization for similar context locations in the plant. This Standard finalizes work organization as task lists in work orders, routes, and rounds. It provides a process to implement ASME RAM-I based on terminology and methodology used in power plants.
This Standard addresses the following:
(a) equipment assessment for risk
(b) asset tagging
(c) template selection and application
(d equipment asset management software
(e) development and organization of work (e.g.. development of operating procedures, rounds, and work orders)
(U RAM program plans
(g) training required to implement the program
3 PURPOSE
The purpose o this Standard is to provide information to enable plant personnel to develop an effective RAM process in accordance with ASME RAM-i. An effective RAM program ensures that critical plant equipment performs cost-effectively as intended by design. This Standard provides an all-encompassing RAM support process that develops simple, clearly worded RAM analysis in accordance with ASME RAM-i.
4 DEFINITIONS
The lollowitig isa list of ternis relating to the implementation and use of RAM programs:
age exploration: systematic examination of the lifetime a component or part can support In an application in- service.
coding sc-herne: an often mnemonic scheme that assigns equipment codes or tags; the scheme usually embeds the plant, unit, system, component type, numbered sequence of the component and higher-tier equipment of which the component is a part (system), subsystem, and perhaps additional information. Each plant requires a common coding scheme.
complex equipment
(a) equipment that displays many unique combinations of parts, failure modes, and failure causes, none of which is predominant in failure of its functions.
(b) equipment that displays random failure patterns in-service. See also simple equipment.
contextual risk map: a map of all master equipment list (MEL) component tag information, customized with component risk information.
critical: likely to cause functional failure directly; failing a high-level performance goal in single fault.
custom template: an application of a standard template based upon one context, e.g.. a standard template maintenance plan customized for one location. See standard template.
direct failure criteria: criteria limiting criticality risk classification to the failures that, with only a single occurrence, have the ability to affect operating goals. This criteria focuses scheduled maintenance resources and efforts where they will do the most good.
diversity: the use of different methods to achieve functional but not exact physical redundancy within a RAM program.
doninant failure mode (DFM): a likely failure mode of a component or part; it is considered in the design of the component or part and addressed in the maintenance plan.ASME RAM-2 pdf free download.
