text: It is carried out in order to:
  * Manage the inspection of piping.
  * Identifying piping systems/circuits and assign failure modes.
  * Capture any changes due to those upgrades or design creep.
  * Ensure that circuits are identified to indicate inspection points as well as facilitate the implementation of various inspection techniques.
  * Identify potential damage mechanisms and their locations.
  Typically, this is performed at the outset of any Mechanical Integrity program i.e. as the facility is built, modified and operated throughout its life.
  General Requirements of Circuitization:
  * Use an experienced corrosion/materials engineer to define systems in each unit
  * Define corrosion circuits within each system based on materials of construction, operating conditions and active damage mechanisms
  * Circuit identification and naming convention is used for both API RBI and IDMS programs to provide linking and sharing inspection data
  * Circuit corrosion rates are used in API RBI to calculate circuit risk
  * Determine the circuit and component next inspection date and inspection effectiveness, including detailed inspection plan
  * Review or Placement of CML/TML (Condition Monitoring Locations/Thickness Monitoring Locations) recommended by corrosion/materials engineer
  * CML/TML installed and documented on piping isometric drawings
