Inhaltsangabe

This book is ideal for instrumentation and control system engineers in the process industries who are responsible for designing safety shutdown systems. Managers, sales professionals, technicians and engineers employed by end users, engineering firms, system integrators and consultants can all benefit from the material presented here. The author wrote this book because of the increased realization that today's engineering systems (and the computers used to control them) are capable of large-scale destruction. When even a single accident could be disastrous, the luxury of learning from experience no longer exists. The book is a practical how-to text on the analysis, design, application and installation of safety shutdown systems. What is a Safety Shutdown?
