ISA Standards |
Abstract: |
|
The ISA has a wealth of knowledge to offer the
process industries in the form of
ISA standards. These standards written using
a committee-based and cross-industry approach
can equally applied to a wide range of
industries including oil/gas, chemical,
pulp/paper, mining, power, pharmaceutical and
municipal water/wastewater, as well as batch and
discrete manufacturing. Included in the ISA
standards portfolio are technical reports,
recommend practice documents, and the standards
documents themselves. This presentation will
provide an overview of some of the ISA standards
are frequently used in process industries. In
total the ISA has over 180 standards,
recommended practices and technical reports, not
including those that have been adopted as ANSI
and IEC standards. The talk will begin with a
synopsis of the 20 most commonly used standards,
and discuss common applications were they can
help the process plant designer, operator,
maintenance manager and facility owner. In
addition to the commonly used standards, some of
the more specialized standards will also be
covered in terms of the special situations that
they relate to. The presentation will conclude
with a short discussion of how the various ISA
standards relate to each other. A handout will
be provided to all attendees listing the major
ISA standards, what they contain, and how they
can be used for various automation applications. |
