Asset Integrity Management (AIM) studies and Residual Life Assessment (RLA) are key activities for operators who want to demonstrate whether in-service pressure equipment or structures are fit for operation and their specific purpose.

The objective of an AIM is to assess and verify the current level of the asset integrity and to identify and assess options to define/increase the asset’s residual life.

The assessment and verification shall be based on the current conditions and future foreseeable conditions. A structure’s corrosion rates and patterns will be developed to verify the effect on maximum allowable operating conditions.
