At Ignis Sentinel Engineering, we’re committed to helping you navigate complex compliance standards and reduce review cycle times. Our “Key Focus Areas” initiative highlights frequent challenges, providing clear guidance to help you deliver high-quality submittals with confidence.

This Week’s Key Focus Area: Control Valves and Instrumentation

For SAES designs, one common issue relates to the requirement for control valves for every 5th device. This requirement ensures redundancy, reliability, and effective system control in process plants, enabling proper isolation and process management under varying conditions.

Key Insights:

1. SAES-J-505:

• Focuses on control valves, including their sizing, selection, and installation requirements.

• Highlights the importance of redundancy and reliability in instrumentation and control system design.

2. Valve Grouping:

• In large-scale systems, control valves are often grouped to maintain process efficiency and manage system isolation.

• The requirement for a control valve for every 5th device supports robust control system functionality.

3. Additional Reference:

• SAES-J-700 (Instrumentation Design) may also provide relevant guidelines for instrumentation and control system integration.

If you have access to the SAES library, we recommend reviewing SAES-J-505 or SAES-J-700 for detailed provisions. Addressing these requirements proactively will enhance compliance, reduce comments, and streamline your review cycles.
