This course is intended for valve and actuator manufacturers who are being asked to supply products with a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) capability. The course starts with a general overview of the whole subject before delving into the technical detail. Attendees will then understand where a ‘SIL’ comes from, the importance of clear safety requirements, design analysis, and quality assurance measures which are all required to meet the SIL.

This 1-day course is designed as a comprehensive guide to safety valves. This course explains how safety valves function and how to size and select the correct valve for given duties and specifications. The course employs lectures, demonstrations and problem solving sessions.
