CODE(fexf) and CHAR (number) perform opposite functions. CODE returns the numeric code (either Macintosh character codes or ANSI character codes for Windows) for a single character or the first character in a text string. CHAR returns the character corresponding to the character code. For example, CODECa") returns 97, CHAR(36) returns. ... 

The ANSI values do not consider the effect of velocity on the drag coefficient, which is a function of the Reynolds number. If the drag coefficient is considered, the ANSI values are conservative with a safety factor of about 2 to 3 depending on the smoothness of the vessel. 

The functional safety achieved in any process facility is dependent on a number of activities being carried out in a satisfactory manner. The purpose of adopting a systematic safety lifecycle approach towards a safety instrumented system is to ensure that all the activities necessary to achieve functional safety are carried out and that it can be demonstrated to others that they have been carried out in an appropriate order. lEC 61511-1 ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004 Parti (lEC 61511-1 Mod ) sets out a typical lifecycle in Figure 8 and Table 2. Requirements for each lifecycle phase are given in Clauses 8 through 16 of lEC 61511-1 ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004 Part 1 (lEC 61511-1 Mod). 

As described in lEC 61511-1 ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004 Parti (lEC 61511-1 Mod), there are a number of design requirements that need to be defined early in a project to ensure the Safety Instrumented Functions provide the desired protection. 

ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004-1 does not require physical separation. However, many owners/operators do use physical separation and diverse logic solvers. It is paramount to remember the primary purpose of many SIS. The SIS is designed to restore the plant to a safe state when the process moves out of the normal operating envelope for a number of causes, including a failure or erroneous operation of the control functions. The need for the SIS to act as a layer of protection in the event of control function failure has resulted in many standards and practices recommending that SIF and control functions be implemented in physically separate and diverse equipment. 

ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-2004-1 has a number of new requirements concerning the management of functional safety. Although a number of these new requirements are not specifically identified in ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996, they are identified in other documents that are in widespread use in the United States, e.g., OSHA 1910.119 and the CCPS book "Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes."... 

Based on calculations with the finite element package ANSYS, this has been done for a number of geometric configurations, as recorded in Figure 4.9. The aspect ratio Iz/h of the cuboid reflects the distance between the electrodes in one direction of the shear plane (/s) and the extent of the electrodes in the other direction of the shear plane (/i). As expected, vzi tends towards zero for relatively close electrodes while it asymptotically approaches one with increasing distance. In consideration of an additional dimensionless quantity Cf to capture further influences like material properties and boundary conditions, this behavior may be roughly approximated by the following function ...
