Marginal note:Bulkheads — production installation

(9) Unless the other combined features of a production installation can be demonstrated to provide at least the same level of protection, the operator must ensure that the following bulkheads are capable of preventing the passage of smoke and flame and of limiting the temperature rise on the unexposed face of the bulkhead to an average increase of 139°C and a maximum increase of 180°C above the initial temperature following 120 minutes of exposure to a hydrocarbon fire:

  (c) the pressure, temperature and flow rate data obtained from compressors and from systems and equipment used for treatment and processing;

Marginal note:Protection of hardware

(3) The operator must ensure that control system hardware is protected from circumstances, including excessive vibration, high electromagnetic field levels, electrical power disturbances and extreme temperatures or humidity levels or other physical and environmental conditions, that could cause mechanical damage to or degradation of the hardware or that could otherwise adversely affect the performance of the system.
