IVS 2024 – Digital Technologies applied to valves, actuation and control May, Wednesday 15th at 10.20 AM Estimation of Proof Test Coverage for Emergency Shut Down Valve Steve Kriescher Functional Safety Engineer, Instrument and Control Solutions (ICS) Register at https://lnkd.in/dP7tKGrn Digital Technologies applied to valves, actuation and control Industry literature including guidelines, papers and the views of experts, shows that estimates of PTC vary. These are based on numerous techniques which include quantitative, semi quantitative and qualitative assessments. Literature suggests the use of the failure modes, effects and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA) technique to determine PTC. The FMEDA technique requires knowledge of component failure mode percentages, the allocation of failure rates to specific failures and an understanding of what dangerous failures can be revealed by diagnostics (where applicable) and during proof testing. From the research undertaken to date it is evident that there is great deal of variation in the results of such assessments relating to ESDVs. The results obtained from several experts ranges significantly for a typical full stroke type test. This variation in results has the potential to impact the PFD and hence test intervals such that testing may be conducted too often (a cost penalty) or not often enough (a potential safety consequence). #IVS #ESDVs #Sustanaibility #AI #JIP 33 #Valves #ESG #CSRD

🚨𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟴𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 Have you ever found yourself troubleshooting an instrumentation issue by relying only on a quick checklist? This could be costing you more than you think! 😲 🔍 The reality is that many technicians overlook subtle, invisible signals in a quick glance, missing critical faults. ✅ A common example is when intermittent pressure variations occur. Instead of thoroughly inspecting the entire system, many technicians simply recalibrate the sensor. The result? The issue returns, causing costly #downtime. To prevent this from happening to you, follow these steps: 1️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 Don’t rely solely on obvious signs. Analyze the trends across all data: pressures, temperatures, and variations over time. For instance, when investigating a temperature fluctuation, check if it's linked to the operational cycle of other equipment. 🔄 2️⃣𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 Use multiple sensors to verify the accuracy of the data. 📊 If a pressure sensor reading seems unusual, compare it with data from another sensor in a different position. This helps validate the diagnosis and pinpoint whether the issue lies with the sensor or the system. 🛠𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆: A level sensor in a tank might show incorrect readings due to residue buildup. Cross-check with data from other level sensors to confirm whether physical interference is at play. 3️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗨𝗽-𝘁𝗼-𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲 Technology evolves fast. What you learned 5 years ago may now be outdated. Continuously invest in training to learn new diagnostic tools and methods. 🎓 🔧 𝑼𝒔𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆: The ISA (International Society of Automation) offers online courses on instrumentation and control, focusing on modern fault detection practices. Also, regularly consult sensor manufacturer manuals to ensure you're following the latest recommendations. 💡 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐩: Whenever you solve a problem, document the steps you took and why you made those decisions. This helps build a knowledge base for future cases. 👉 Have you ever experienced something like this?

LEVELLING UP OUR CUSTOMER’S PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION KNOWLEDGE Today our very own instrumentation expert, Trevor Shaw has been running an in-depth technical workshop for one of our valued customers that focused on the latest advancements in level measurement technology. We kicked off with an introduction to various level measurement methods, weighing up when to select radar measurement technology and when to use ultrasonic. Then we dived into the level measurement portolfio from our partners at Siemens with a key focus on the clamp-in level measurement products, how it differs to tradition methods, and which applications they are best suited to. Finally, we wrapped things up by taking a look at real-world application examples of how Siemens level instruments helped to boost accuracy and drive process efficiency. Some of the other topics covered included: > Guidance on the installation process for Siemens Level Instruments > Configuration options and best practices > Maintenance tips and tricks > Common troubleshooting scenarios and solutions > How Siemens level technology integrates with various control systems > Communication protocols and compatibility We're always on-hand to help to support you with your next instrumentation project so get in touch with Jacqui Shaw if you need a little extra support. #processinstrumentation #levelmeasurement #technicaltraining
