Process or analytical instrumentation engineers looking for a flow verification solution for their process analyzer sampling systems, and specifically when it is part of a safety instrumented system (SIS) process will be interested to learn that the Model FS10A Analyzer Flow Switch/Monitor from Fluid Components International meets the requirements for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 compliant service. The SIL 2 compliance rating for the Analyzer Flow Switch/Monitor has been documented in a failure analysis report with FMEDA techniques by the accredited certification body exida. The device has been classified as a Type B subsystem in accordance to IEC 61508-1 with a hardware failure tolerance of 0. The average probability of failure on demand (PFD) and safe failure fraction (SFF) meets the requirements for SIL 2 compliance set forth in the standards.
