Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR) Flame Detector Offering Superior False Alarm Immunity

Sat, 24 May 2008 19:24:08 GMT

Innovative Multi-Spectral Infrared (MSIR) FL4000 Flame Detector from General Monitors is now available with HART� communications. The FL4000, with its next-generation MSIR sensor that incorporates neural network technology (NNT), provides highly reliable flame monitoring with superior false alarm immunity, an exceptionally wide field of view (FOV) and the industry�s longest extended range.

High-Temperature UV Flame Detector Responds Rapidly To Fires

Sat, 24 May 2008 19:21:37 GMT

With a highly responsive ultraviolet (UV) flame sensor and advanced signal processing, the new high-temperature FL3111HT UV Flame Detector from General Monitors operates in temperatures up to 125�C (257�F), which makes it suitable for use in demanding process and plant environments. To achieve the FL3111HT�s high temperature rating, the instrument features a uniquely designed UV flame detector and electronic components that operate with very low power consumption to reduce detector self-heating.

System Safety Engineering (SSE) is the discipline concerned with achieving and assuring safety of systems, including their hardware, software and human elements. It encompasses, but is broader than, Functional Safety as it is concerned with hazards arising from physical causes, e.g. toxic materials and uncontrolled energy sources, as well as functional failures.

The programme has just been announced for this year�s International Conference on System Safety.

OSHA Endorses ISA-84 Standards for Use in Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals

Tue, 07 Feb 2006 07:10:20 GMT

Research Triangle Park, NC, USA - The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has officially notified ISA that a three-part ISA series of standards may be used in achieving compliance with OSHA regulations pertaining to the prevention and mitigation of accidents involving hazardous chemicals.

The three-part series is ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004 Parts 1-3 (IEC 61511 Modified), "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector." The standards resulted from the adoption and modification of the three-part international standard IEC 61511 by ISA's SP84 standards development committee. Leaders of ISA-SP84 played key roles in the development of IEC 61511.
