Together with independent testing organization EXIDA, GEMÜ has assessed a selection of different products in accordance with SIL.
This SIL assessment covers the functional safety of the products and is used to evaluate the systems in relation to the reliability of failsafe functions. The result is safety-relevant design principles which must be complied to minimize the risk of a malfunction. SIL itself is a measure of the probability that a system will correctly fulfil the required fail safe functions for a specific time period.
In addition to pilot valves, the GEMÜ products assessed include globe and diaphragm valves and electrical position indicators.
