Abstract:Many traditional methods for assessing Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs) focus on controlling individual hazards on a scenario-by-scenario basis. In these existing approaches, engineers use a hazard analysis, or other form of risk assessment, to evaluate each potential accident scenario to determine the need for a SIS. While comprehensive, such methods can result in more SISs being defined than are necessary.
This paper describes an approach for SISs using existing hazard analysis data from a n… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
