Wall thickness data stored within the Inspection module is automatically transferred to the Trending module where it is presented numerically and graphically. The data is used to predict current and historic corrosion rates which are then used to establish retrial dates based on pressure retention and user determined thresholds.

The system flags the worst case inspection (earliest retrial date) which is then used within other ACET modules such as the Core, CRA and Reporting. As with all other ACET tables the results table in the Trending module integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Excel.

Up to 100 graphs can be displayed at any one time, with each graph available for closer examination. Additionally the Trending module gives the user the ability to search for items and features where possible degradation is an issue. This functionality can be used to check all flow line bends for possible erosive effects as an example.
