Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines by James Moody Pdf

This new volume, Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines: A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals, focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines. It instructs design engineers, laboratory managers, and installation technicians on how to source the information and specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use. The current use of specifications predominantly taken from medical gas standards for this type of work is not always suitable; these standards are for use with medical grade gases that have a purity level of 99.5%. The purity levels required in laboratories, however, start at 99.9% for general industrial use through to 99.9995% (Ultra High Purity (UHP)) and higher. Regular medical gas standards are also unsuitable for use with the oxidizing, flammable, and, in some instances, toxic gases that are regularly encountered in laboratories. As need for gas purity increases, the methodology used to design a piping system must vary to meet those parameters, and this reference provides the necessary information and resources. There are no comprehensive single sources of technical references currently available in this market, states the author, and the generally supplied specifications provided to the construction industry are usually generic and not specifically targeted for the gases in use. The results provide extremely poor quality designs and, in some instances, unusable systems. With over 40 years of specialization in the industry from project management to systems design, testing, and commissioning of projects with values in excess of $15 million, the author comprehensively fills that gap with this rich resource. Key features • provides information on types of laboratories that use laboratory gases and the equipment needed • explains the various methods of construction and the materials used to ensure that the purity of the gases remains as supplied from the manufacturers • incorporates the design methodology used to meet the various requirements of the laboratory and the information required to ensure that the correct engineering is provided • presents information on the purity levels of the gases and the data on the equipment used for pipelines and compatibility issues • presents an example of a simple laboratory gas specification that provides guidelines on the information necessary to provide a set of design documents

Functional Safety Management by Dr Michel Houtermans Pdf

About This Book If you want to achieve functional safety on a project, technically, the hardware and software must be SIL-compliant. But how do you achieve that? With functional safety management. FSM is at the heart of all SIL projects. If you understand FSM and you apply it correctly, every project will achieve compliance and, thus, SIL. In this book, the author explains the five core concepts that are at the basis of achieving functional safety. If you master these five concepts, your SIL projects will: - Will be completed faster. - Will be completed within budget. - Lead to profitable products and services. - Have more competent employees. Functional safety management is a requirement in all functional safety standards. Your product, service, solution, operation, maintenance and repair depend on it. You could not claim compliance with the standards if you did not implement functional safety management. Yet many companies do. This is no problem as long as no accidents happen.

Functional Safety in Practice 2nd Ed by Harvey Dearden Pdf

There is no shortage of material that expounds the theory of functional safety, but precious little about the practice i.e. actual implementation in what is sometimes called the 'real world', where we routinely meet a variety of constraints that do not allow the theoretical model to be fully realised. This book is intended to bridge that gap. Readers are provided with the considerations that should inform their choices and judgements. The focus is on the process industries, but most of the material will have a direct 'read across' to other sectors. Questions considered include: * Functional safety misrepresentations and misunderstandings * Disconnects between theory & practice * SIL determination issues and ALARP considerations * How and when to use engineering judgement * How to manage competence * How to address systematic capability * How to handle legacy plant * Trip setting nomination & process safety time * Certification v 'Prior-Use' * How to validate failure rates during operation * How to manage useful life expiry * How to manage proof testing * What to expect from the regulator This expanded second edition updates previous material and has several new chapters: * Evaluation of Compound (Multi) SIF * Leading Indicators & FSA4 * Mitigation Systems * Modification, Decommissioning & FSA5 * Functional Safety Management Planning * Suspended Load Process Safety Model * Aggregate Risk and Risk Profiles

Functional Safety by David Smith,Kenneth Simpson Pdf

Electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems, such as emergency shut down systems and railway signalling systems, increasingly carry out safety functions to guard workers and the public against injury or death and the environment against pollution. The international standard IEC 61508 has been developed as a generic standard that applies to all these systems irrespective of their application. IEC 61508 is seen by many professionals as complex. This book overcomes that complexity by introducing the standard in the context of safety in general before moving on to provide practical advice about implementing it and obtaining certification. It also explains how IEC 61508 relates to second tier standards and related guidance, such as IEC 61511, 61513, UKOOA, ISA S84.01 and DIN standards, among others. Throughout the text, the authors illustrate their explanations with examples to which the answers are supplied in the appendix. Four case studies with further exercises set the information in context. Templates and checklists for drawing up your own implementation plan and information on self-certification are also provided. As Functional Safety, the standard, is applicable to many industries, Functional Safety, the book, in its previous edition has proved to be an invaluable reference for professionals from a variety of industries, such as project/instrumentation/design/control engineers as well as safety professionals in oil and gas, chemical, rail, power generation, nuclear, aircraft, and automotive industries. The new edition includes a new chapter on IEC 61511, the process sector standard, published since the first edition. The text has been updated throughout in light of the authors’ recent experience and two case studies have been added. Dr. David J Smith, BSc, PhD, CEng, FIEE, HonFSaRS, FIQA, MIGasE, has been directly concerned with reliability, safety and software quality for 30 years. He has written a number of books on the subject as well as numerous papers. His PhD thesis was on the subject of reliability prediction accuracy and common cause failure. He chairs the IGasE panel which develops its guidelines on safety-related systems (now in its third edition). He has also made contributions to IEC 61508. Kenneth G. L. Simpson, MPhil, FIEE, FInstMC, MIGasE, has been associated with safety-related systems design and also with their assessment for 25 years. He is a member of the IEC 61508 drafting committee and also of the I Gas E panel which writes the gas industry guidance. Following a career in aerospace, Ken has spent 20 years in the control system industry and is a Director of Silvertech International plc, a leading designer of safety and control systems. He has written a number of papers on the topic and gives frequent talks.

Functional Safety by David John Smith,Kenneth G. L. Simpson Pdf

The need to specify quantitative safety targets for overall systems, and for their separate protection sub-systems, has grown rapidly over the last ten years. This feature has become known as Functional Safety and numerous standards and guidelines have emerged, most of which incorporate the idea of safety-integrity levels (SILs). The quantified target (either a failure rate or a probability of failure on demand) determines which of four target SILs is called for. The higher the SIL then the more onerous the qualitative requirements to be observed during the life-cycle. Thus safety-integrity is addressed from two points of view: Meeting the numerical failure rate target Meeting the qualitative requirements for the SIL in question The IEC Standard 61508, Functional Safety, has become the umbrella document under which most other guidelines are now regarded as "2nd tier guidance." Functional Safety: A Straightforward Guide to IEC 61508 and Related Standards is based primarily on understanding that standard and provides a straightforward guide to the essentials. Dr David J Smith BSc, PhD, CEng, FIEE, HonFSaRS, FIQA, MIGasE has been directly concerned with reliability, safety and software quality for 30 years. He has written a number of books on the subject as well as numerous papers. His PhD thesis was on the subject of reliability prediction accuracy and common cause failure.

Pipeline Valve Technology by Karan Sotoodeh Pdf

This book covers the life cycle of pipeline valves, the largest and most essential valves in offshore pipeline engineering. Discussing the design process, testing, production, transportation, installation, and maintenance, the book also covers the risk analysis required to assess the reliability of these valves. Pipeline valves require particular attention to ensure they are safely designed, installed, and maintained, due to the high stakes. Failure would result in environmental pollution, the destruction of expensive assets, and potential loss of life. Proper installation and upkeep require specialist processes throughout the life cycle of the valve. This book is a key guide to these processes. Beginning by looking at the design of pipeline valves, this book details how conserving weight and space is prioritized, how materials are chosen, how thickness is calculated, and how leakage is minimized. It then discusses production and specific welding techniques to bond dissimilar materials, alongside casting and machining. Building on other discussions in the text with case studies and questions and answers for self-study, this book is the ideal guide to pipeline valves. This book will be of interest to professionals in the industries of offshore oil and gas, material engineering, coatings, mechanical engineering, and piping. It will also be relevant to students studying coating and welding, or mechanical, piping, or petroleum engineering.
