8 Chapter 1 Safety Concepts This table provides simplified equations for calculating the PFD avg for the key elements in an SIS. Once the PFD avg for each element is known, an SIL can be determined. Table 1 Simplified Equations for Calculating PFD avg Description Equation Variables (Supplied by the Manufacturer) Sensors To calculate PFD avg for sensors (2oo3) PFD avg = ( DU *TI) 2 + 1/2** DU *TI = failure rate DU=dangerous, undetected failure rate TI= test interval in hours = common cause factor Block Valves To calculate PFD avg for block valves (1oo2) in series (final elements) PFD avg = 1 / 3 ( DU *TI) 2 + 1/2** DU *TI = failure rate DU=dangerous, undetected failure rate TI= test interval in hours = common cause factor SIF To calculate PFD avg for a safety instrumented function SIF PFD avg = Sensors PFD avg + Block Valves PFD avg + Controller PFD avg Note Equations are approximate To determine the SIL, compare the calculated PFD avg to the figure on page 5. In this example, the system is acceptable as an SIS for use in SIL2 applications.

Hazard and Risk Analysis 9 Safety Life Cycle Model The necessary steps for designing an SIS from conception through decommissioning are described in the safety life cycle. Before the safety life cycle model is implemented, the following requirements should be met: • Complete a hazard and operability study • Determine the SIS requirement • Determine the target SIL EXIT No START Design conceptual process Perform process hazard analysis and risk assessment Apply non-SIS protection layers to prevent identified hazards or reduce risk SIS required Yes Define target SIL Develop safety requirements document (Step 1) Perform SIS conceptual design and verify it meets the SRS (Step 2) Perform SIS detail design (Step 3) SIS installation, commissioning, and pre-startup acceptance test (Step 4) Modify Establish operation and maintenance procedure (Step 5) Pre-start-up safety review assessment (Step 6) SIS start-up operation, maintenance, periodic functional testing (Steps 7 and 8) Modify or decommission SIS Decommission Conceptual process design SIS decommissioning (Step 9) S84.01 Concern (Step 3) Figure 5 Safety Life Cycle Model Safety Considerations Guide for Triconex General Purpose v2 Systems

PFD avg <strong>for</strong><br />

sensors (2oo3)<br />

PFD avg = ( DU *TI) 2<br />

+ 1/2** DU *TI<br />

= failure rate<br />

Equations are approximate<br />

To determine the SIL, compare the calculated PFD avg to the figure on page 5. In this example,<br />

the system is acceptable as an SIS <strong>for</strong> use in SIL2 applications.<br />
