About Required Fields

Meridium APM provides a set of baseline formulas that can be used for determining the Calculated T-Min
value. For these calculations to be successful, certain inputs are needed. These inputs come from the
Thickness Measurement Location records for which the calculations are being performed. Without the
necessary inputs, Meridium APM will not be able to determine the Calculated T-Min value for a given
Thickness Measurement Location record. If you want Meridium APM to determine Calculated T-Min values,
you will need to supply values in these required fields in the Thickness Measurement Location records in
your database.  

In this section of the documentation, we list the fields that must be populated in Thickness Measurement
Location records in order for Calculated T-Min values to be returned using the baseline T-Min formulas. The
lists of required fields are organized according to equipment type, which is derived using the value in the
Design Code fields and other fields in each the Thickness Measurement Location record.

Note: If you are using custom T-Min formulas rather than the baseline formulas, this list of required fields
may not apply to your implementation.
