Valtek ShearStream SB Ball Valves VLENDS4152-00-A4 05/15 Introduction Scope and purpose of the Safety Manual This safety manual provides the information necessary to design, install, verify and maintain a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) utilizing the Shearstream SB Ball Valve. This manual provides necessary requirements to enable the integration of the Shearstream SB Ball Valve when showing compliance with the IEC 61508 or IEC 61511 functional safety standards.
Valtek ShearStream SB Ball Valves VLENDS4152-00-A4 05/15 PVST Partial Valve Stroke Test. Safe Failure Fraction - fraction of the overall random failure rate of a device that results in either a safe failure or a detected dangerous failure Safety Instrumented Function - safety function with a specified SIL which is necessary to achieve functional safety.
Valtek ShearStream SB Ball Valves VLENDS4152-00-A4 05/15 Application limits The materials of construction of a Shearstream SB Ball Valve are specified in the Shearstream SB Ball Valve datasheet. It is especially important that the designer of the SIF checks for material compatibility considering on-site chemical contaminants and air/hydraulic (as appropriate) supply conditions.
Valtek ShearStream SB Ball Valves VLENDS4152-00-A4 05/15 Connection of the Shearstream SB Ball Valve to the SIS Logic Solver The Shearstream SB Valve should be assembled with an actuator and logic solver where all components are safety rated. The safety rated logic solver shall actively perform the safety function as well as automatic diagnostics (if any) designed to diagnose potentially dangerous failures within the Shearstream SB Ball Valve, (i.e.
NAF AB must be informed when the Shearstream SB Ball Valve is required to be replaced due to failure. The occurred failure shall be documented and reported to Flowserve representative or directly to NAF AB using the contact details on...
