Second Edition! The first edition of the Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook was an exida #1 bestseller and completely sold out. This second edition not only covers all first edition equipment items, it completely surpasses the first edition. Over 250 new equipment item entries are listed in the handbook and the size of the book more than doubled! Getting failure rate and failure mode data was one of the biggest problems when implementing SIF verification calculations. The "Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook" was created to solve that problem. Using reliability analysis an engineer can show that a particular design meets the key probabilistic measurements. However, the engineer must have basic information about the equipment used in the design. This information consists of failure rates, failure mode distributions, diagnostic detection capability, and common cause susceptibility. This handbook was created to supply that information in a format specific to safety integrity verification. The data is formatted such that it can be directly used in safety verifications and to allow for easy comparison of equipment items or designs. The Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook, 2nd edition, is the must have handbook for any engineer actively involved in Safety Integrity Level verification analyses. It provides a tremendous amount of detailed failure rate data for both specific manufacturer products as well as generic equipment items. Many companies have standardized their reliability evaluations on reliability data published by exida. The Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook provides the perfect reference source.

Safety Equipment Reliability Hand Book, Second Edition

exida

This book has evolved over a number of years from a series of courses, seminars and safety engineering projects exida has completed throughout the world. Unfortunately, the project review and audit experience has shown that it is still very easy to select bad SIL targets. Incorrect or missing input information, insufficient resources, lack of facilitator or team skills, and poor communication between disciplines can each lead to severe under-design and over-design problems. These problems can cost large amounts of money and sometimes even lives, yet they can usually be prevented by rational and careful application of the relatively basic techniques presented in this book. The concepts and techniques described are based on the application of the Safety Lifecycle as it is described in the international standard IEC 61511-2003 with references to IEC 61508. It can also readily be used in machine safety applications. This book expands upon the framework developed in these standards to provide a working guide to apply these concepts and techniques to both retrofit and green field projects in the process and machine automation industries. The techniques cover a range from coarse qualitative screening up to fully detailed numerical modeling and can readily be varied or adapted to suite a wide range of applications.

exida is pleased to present the third edition of the Electrical and Mechanical Component Handbook. The first and second edition successfully met the needs of safety and design engineers seeking a single reference for component failure rates and failure modes. Like the second edition, this third edition refines and expands this unique reference source. It features additional components, updates to failure rates and failure modes for existing components, and additional environmental profiles. Among the available environmental profiles are now offshore and subsea environments. This third edition is published in two separate volumes. Volume 01: Electrical Components Volume 02: Mechanical Components The Electrical and Mechanical Component Reliability Handbook is an indispensable reference for any engineer involved in designing and/or analyzing safety related equipment. It is particularly useful for Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis of Electrical, Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Equipment. Its detailed descriptions of failure rates and failure modes can prove valuable during component selection as well.

exida.com LLC is pleased to present this third edition of Functional Safety - An IEC 61508 SIL 3 Compatible Development Process by Michael D. Medoff and Rainer I. Faller. The intent of this book is to provide the reader with an example development process for safety application products that meets all of the requirements for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 of the IEC 61508 family of standards (IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 13849, ISO 26262, etc.). The description of this product development process will help illuminate and interpret the requirements of the standard, and should help with the effort of adapting existing processes in an organization to be compliant with this standard. This third edition expands on the popular previous editions of this book with extended descriptions, more templates, more detailed explanations and minor corrections.

How are final control elements used in Safety Instrumented Systems? How do the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 functional safety standards apply to these final control elements? The answers to these questions are in this book Final Elements in Safety Instrumented Systems, IEC 61511 Compliant Systems and IEC 61508 Compliant Products . The book covers the overall functional safety lifecycle and reliability requirements with special focus on the challenges encountered when dealing with complex electro-mechanical elements/subsystems. The book reviews the application of failure analysis as it applies to mechanical components that are utilized in final control elements and discusses in detail sources of failure rate data. Various valve, actuator, and control technologies are reviewed along with their strengths and weaknesses when applied in safety applications. The book is divided in 4 major sections: Functional Safety and Final Elements Equipment Used in Final Elements IEC 61511 Compliant System Design IEC 61508 Compliant Product Development
