Organization
Since 2000, PV has supported its Technical Dept. with a new office (HIPPS System Integrator), see LRQA ISO 9001:2008 certification, to better ensure and guarantee the reliability and functional safety of equipment and / or components of its production during life cycle.

 

 

PetrolValves Database vs Oreda Hand-book
The basis of the SIL activity is the collection of all data reports of failure, from the field, starting from 1999, relating to its products, to build a working database, regularly updated every six months. 


Analysis and Certification
The database, validated by TUV and LLR's, enables the development of SAR, SIL, FMECA analysis of the various types of HIPPS and OPPS safety systems, tailoring the analysis to the type and size of the valve, the control electronics, to plant and processed fluids.

The reliability reports issued have been reviewed and approved by independent third parties (e.g. SINTEF, LLR's, TUV) and / or its customers (e.g. Statoil, Nord Stream), for application in SIL 3 and SIL 4.

Also falling HIPPS and OPPS safety systems within Category IV of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (Art. 1 par. 2.1.3), PetrolValves has obtained legal certificates of their HIPPS / OPPS systems by Lloyd's Register (Notify Body), according to Module B (Design Appraisal) and the Module F (Product Verification) of the PED directive.
