White Paper by Honeywell highlights that there are significant hidden costs in most of the current practices for validating, verifying and documenting that Safety Instrumented Systems and control systems as installed are functioning as designed. One key reason is that until now, there has been no automated mechanisms to support this critical activity. There are no standard ways in the industry to achieve this validation, verification and documentation.

The hidden costs come from the effort to validate, verify and document using manual processes and disconnected information sources. Even more significant are the opportunity costs from longer planned and more frequent unplanned shutdowns that reduce the total revenue opportunity.

In this whitepaper, we outline here the principles and approaches of a new capability to perform this function in an automated way. This results in structured information and shared knowledge, provable safety state and benefits from lower costs and higher revenue opportunity.

Utilizing and maintaining level and flow control instrumentation requires knowledge of a wide range of technical information. Having a quick and comprehensive reference point for this information can help keep equipment running smoothly and efficiently. With that in mind, Magnetrol® has produced a free field instrumentation technical handbook featuring a compendium of physical constants, tables and other essential information. The handbook was created by MAGNETROL to cover specific reference points that are commonly used in process applications.

This thorough technical guide features a variety of useful field instrumentation data. Standard conversion tables, such as metric notation conversion and Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion, are included. The technical handbook also includes equivalent tables for viscosity, pressure and head, electrical units, degrees API and degrees baumé. Properties tables feature density, specific gravity and dielectric constants of liquids and gases. Flange dimensions and ratings for pipes are also included.
