Can You Justify Using Safety Certified Instrumentation?

There is a lot of confusion around Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and the associated protection layers. While some may claim that “IEC 61508 certified equipment” is the way to go, others defend the concept of using field data collection and analysis of previously used general purposes instrumentation as the way to select appropriated instruments.

This webinar presentation will discuss both philosophies and it will present a simplified way to calculate the performance of a SIF.

Key take-aways include:

  • Random vs systematic failures
  • Proven in use vs prior use
  • Certified vs evidence of suitability
  • Simplified VDI calculations

Join us on Wednesday, February 27th at 1 p.m. CST / 2 p.m. EST
