IDC Reliability Calculator

 

 

This System Reliability Calculator is a utility that allows calculation of protection system reliability, PFD and supported SIL.  The utility uses a spreadsheet format that makes operation perfectly straightforward and intuitive.

Simply enter the system component reliability data and the chosen architecture for each sub-system, together with the nominated test interval, and the utility will report the probability of failure for each sub-system as well as for the overall system and the SIL that would be supported.  This then allows exploration of different scenarios and design possibilities using a simple 'what if' approach.  Both Low and High Demand system calculations are supported. The utility allows nomination of different test intervals for individual sub-systems to support optimisation of test schedules.

A conversion utility allows conversion of failure rate data between different formats; fail/hr, fail/yr, MTBF(yrs), PFD.

A further feature supports simple ALARP calculations to determine whether additional investment in safety systems is appropriate.

Calculations are in accordance with IEC 61508-6:2000 Appendix B.
