This 1/2 day course provides an overview of proof test development for devices used in a process facility. It defines failures in safety instrumented systems, discusses the effect of automatic diagnostics and explains how these failures are used to develop tests to detect these failures. The criteria for success are also discussed, as well what remedial actions to take should a step fail.
The following are the topics to be covered:
- Why these tests are done
- Sources of test information
