Determining the rate of hazardous undiscovered
failures
• The sum of the rate of undiscovered hazardous failures for
trip blocks and basic devices at 40 °C ambient air
temperature is calculated as follows:
• The sum of the rate of undiscovered hazardous failures for
trip blocks and basic devices at 60 °C ambient air
temperature and self-heating is calculated as follows:
7.11 x 10

/h - 4.73 x 10

/h = 238 FIT
7.245 x 10

/h - 4.284 x 10

/h = 296 FIT
238 FIT + 296.1 FIT = 534.1 FIT
Total =
5.341 x 10

7.245 x 10

/h - 4.284 x 10

/h = 296.1 FIT
248.6 FIT + 296.1 FIT = 544.7 FIT

The rate of undiscovered hazardous failures therefore lies
below the 10
-6
/h threshold, fulfilling the requirements for
SIL 2.
