K-TEK announced that its BETA line of pressure and temperature switches have been certified for operation in SIL2 environments. To obtain SIL2 certification, the products must be analyzed based on quantitative data and tests indicating the length of time between failures and expected performance in the field. This certification helps reducing risks at the process measurement level when implementing Safety Instrumented Systems in process plant environments, such as offshore oil platforms, chemical plants, and refineries. BETA switches are engineered for maximum over-range protection, wide rangeability, and narrow deadbands.
