BS EN 60654 is a European standard that discusses operating conditions for industrial-process measurement and control equipment. BS EN 60654-3 is the third part of the multi-part series that outlines the specific operating conditions of vibration, shock, seismic, and mechanical stress conditions to land-based and off-shore, industrial-process measurement and control systems or parts of systems that may be exposed during operation, storage, or transportation.
The operating influences considered in BS EN 60654-3 are limited to those which may directly affect the performance of process measurement and control systems.
Note 1: Maintenance and repair conditions are excluded from consideration in BS EN 60654-3.
Note 2: Effects of the specific operating conditions on personnel are not within the scope of BS EN 60654-3.
Note 3: Conditions are considered under BS EN 60654-3 but the effects of these conditions on instruments’ performance are specifically excluded.
BS EN 60654-3 on operating conditions of mechanical influences is useful for:
BS EN 60654-3 provides you with a uniform listing and classification of mechanical influences of industrial-process measurement and control equipment.
BS EN 60654-3 assists you in minimizing problems that might result from neglecting considerations of specific operating conditions affecting the performance of systems and parts of systems.
BS EN 60654-3 also aid the choice of specific limit values for use in the development of evaluation specifications for industrial-process measurement and control equipment.
BS EN 60654-3 guides you regarding the acceleration method, duration method, free-fall method, and shock repetition rate for expressing shock in industrial-process measurement and control equipment.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 60654-3, you can standardize the operating conditions of mechanical influences to land-based and off-shore, industrial-process measurement, and control systems.
