Elliott group receives SIL 3 safety certification
JEANNETTE, PA — Elliott Group, a global provider of rotating equipment for the oil & gas, power generation, and process industries, announced that its Pneumatic Trip System, with or without partial stroke actuation, has received the IEC 61508 SIL 3 Capable safety certification. The SIL 3 Capable certification was awarded by Exida, a certification company specializing in automation system safety, security and availability.
Elliott’s Pneumatic Trip System provides a vital safety function for steam turbines. In response to an overspeed event, it shuts the turbine down to prevent damage or catastrophic failure.
Partial stroke functionality gives operators a safe, efficient, and convenient way to exercise the pneumatic trip valve without interfering with the turbine’s operation or the system’s ability to trip the turbine if an overspeed event occurs.
