This course focuses on the engineering requirements necessary for the specification, design, analysis, and justification of Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs) for process industries. Students explore device failure rates in the lab. students practice determining Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) and evaluate whether proposed or existing systems meet the performance requirements. Students evaluate SILs and analyze the impact performance of various sensors, field devices, and diagnostics. They study, specify, and select Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs). This course is designed to meet the competency requirements for national certification from the Instrumentation Society of America (ISA).
