Product Description

Product Description
This book is ideal for instrumentation and control system engineers in the process industries who are responsible for designing safety shutdown systems. Managers, sales professionals, technicians and engineers employed by end users, engineering firms, system integrators and consultants can all benefit from the material presented here. The author wrote this book because of the increased realization that today's engineering systems (and the computers used to control them) are capable of large-scale destruction. When even a single accident could be disastrous, the luxury of learning from experience no longer exists. The book is a practical how-to text on the analysis, design, application and installation of safety shutdown systems. What is a Safety Shutdown? Risk-What Constitutes a Hazard Process Control vs Safety Control Protection Layers Economic Justification for a Safety System The Design Life Cycle: An Overview Developing the Functional Specifications Determining the Safety Integrity Levels Choosing a Technology Initial System Evaluation Issues related to Field Devises Engineering a System Installing a System Functional Testing of a System Managing Changes to a System.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Introductory Text, 2 Aug 2003

By	C. D. Burgess - See all my reviews

This book is a straightforward introduction to the principles involved in designing safety systems. Well laid out and easy to read, it covers most of the important areas. If you are going to design safety systems for a living however, you'll need to read David Smith's book, and get a copy of IEC61508.
