Case Study 002 – Proof Testing Coverage Gap
A new case study has been added to the classroom.
Scenario:
A SIL 2 reactor feed isolation valve has been proof tested annually for 10 years.
Every test has passed.
The SIL verification claims 90% proof test coverage.
Your task: Determine why the SIF is failing to meet its SIL 2 target.
Full case study here: [link]
Questions:
  • What is the first thing you would check in the proof test procedure?
  • How would you justify a revised coverage figure without retesting?
  • Would you accept a partial stroke test as a high-coverage test?
