Safety Equipment Reliability Hand Book, Second Edition

Second Edition! The first edition of the Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook was an exida #1 bestseller and completely sold out. This second edition not only covers all first edition equipment items, it completely surpasses the first edition. Over 250 new equipment item entries are listed in the handbook and the size of the book more than doubled! Getting failure rate and failure mode data was one of the biggest problems when implementing SIF verification calculations. The "Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook" was created to solve that problem. Using reliability analysis an engineer can show that a particular design meets the key probabilistic measurements. However, the engineer must have basic information about the equipment used in the design. This information consists of failure rates, failure mode distributions, diagnostic detection capability, and common cause susceptibility. This handbook was created to supply that information in a format specific to safety integrity verification. The data is formatted such that it can be directly used in safety verifications and to allow for easy comparison of equipment items or designs. The Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook, 2nd edition, is the must have handbook for any engineer actively involved in Safety Integrity Level verification analyses. It provides a tremendous amount of detailed failure rate data for both specific manufacturer products as well as generic equipment items. Many companies have standardized their reliability evaluations on reliability data published by exida. The Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook provides the perfect reference source.
