Worcester valves and Norbro actuators from Flowserve Flow Control have received third-party approval to Safety Integrity Level rating 3 from BASEEFA under the IEC616508 safety systems standard.
Worcester valves and Norbro actuators from Flowserve Flow Control have received third-party approval to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) rating 3 from BASEEFA under the IEC616508 safety systems standard.
Flowserve understands this is the first time the standard has been awarded to UK-manufactured valves and actuators.
The standard requires all safety critical systems to carry a SIL rating.
These run from SIL 1 (low risk plant) to SIL 4 (high risk plant).
The SIL 3 rating is the maximum obtainable for an individual valve or actuator.
Commenting on the achievement, Stuart Wishart of Flowserve Flow Control said: "Safe performance is crucial in all processing and control contexts.
Purchasers of our products now have the extra reassurance that they are buying components which comply with this important safety standard".
