When safety equipment is operated successfully within the last half test interval, SPAS provide the analysis records required to utilize this as proof tests. Spurious trip records can be utilized as proof tests, and consequently save significant maintenance hours.
SPAS provide continuously updated status for which equipment needs to be proof tested during a planned revision stop and have features for identifying status of equipment forming part of isolation barriers, i.e., equipment with limited available time for testing purposes prior to production startup. Consequently, production downtime can be reduced without losing control of the proof test status.
SPAS can retrieve data from several systems to allow that the user have the right data at hand in the various contexts and presented in an intuitive manner. This enables the user to work in an efficient manner when monitoring the status of the plant’s safety equipment and planning for periodic or corrective work.
