HIPPS SIL Certification

In the process industry HIPPS systems are used to prevent over-pressurization of a plant or pipeline. Where relief systems vent fluids and gas directly or indirectly to the environment, HIPPS systems shut off the high pressure source. This has the direct benefit that there is no environmental damage. But due the unusual high pressure HIPPS systems need to be extremely reliable and safe. HIPPS systems typically need to meet SIL 3 or SIL 4 according to IEC 61508 or IEC 61511. 

 The Risknowlogy HIPPS SIL Verification and Certification program supports end users, as well as engineering companies, system integrators and products suppliers of HIPPS systems. We verify and/or certify complete HIPPS system as well HIPPS products like pressure sensors, transmitters, logic solvers, and final elements.
