ISASecure in the Security Automation Equipment List
I had an engineer from a European Certification Body ask me why exida would bother paying any attention to these failure rate numbers, especially on mechanical devices? He said that he does not know anyone who actually uses them! To answer why exida pays attention to failure rates, we must…
Remote actuated valve assemblies (RAVA) are a frequently used final element of safety instrumented functions (SIF) in the process industry. Studies of field failure data at exida has shown potentially dangerous failures of these valve assemblies significantly depend on how they are used – the application. As a simple example,…
