Minco Launches Online "Heater Configurator" Pricing & Ordering Tool - Helps Customers Quickly Find The Right Heater

Minco launches online Heater Configurator engineering tool to allow customers to more conveniently and quickly locate, price and order heaters from their desktop.

Minco, (www.minco.com) a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical applications, today launched its online "Heater Configurator" engineering tool, designed to help customers specify, evaluate, select and order Minco Thermofoil™ and wire-wound flexible heaters online.

The Minco Heater Configurator is located on the Minco website and functions like a search engine, allowing customers to configure, price, and order Minco catalog model Thermofoil™ and wire-wound heaters by entering a heater model number or searching for heater models by dimensional value and insulation type. The Heater Configurator offers customers a more convenient and time saving method of purchasing heaters online.

"This tool will help our customers quickly find the best possible catalog heater option for prototyping and evaluation purposes", said Brian Williams, Minco Marketing Manager. "It will also provide information about the heater, and ensure the customer knows the appropriate operating parameters of these products".

The Minco Heater Configurator accepts the input of dimensional values, or a Thermofoil™ heater part number, and generates catalog flexible heater options in polyimide (Kapton™), silicone rubber, Thermal-Clear™ (optically clear), integrated heater/sensor, and mica substrate. Once a specific model is selected the customer can enter supply voltage and operating temperature requirements, and choose between different resistance values and backing/adhesive options.

The tool automatically checks to make sure the heater, and all selected options like resistance, backing, lead-wire, will work properly at the given voltage and operating temperature. Data boxes will appear in red to indicate when the heater is not suited to perform as configured for the application values given.

Once the appropriate data boxes are filled, the Minco Heater Configurator automatically generates a part number and allows the customer to purchase the heater, or group of heaters, easily online.

"Minco understands that customers desire on-demand information available to them via the Internet," said Williams. "The Minco Heater Configurator allows customers to find out which heater they require, price it out and order online – all within minutes."

New Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Resource Center Now Available Online At General Monitors

- SIL Center Provides How To Articles, Definitions, Q&A, and More -

General Monitors, the industry's premier safety monitoring solution provider, announces the availability of the company's extensive Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) Online Information Center http://www.gmigasandflame.com/sil_lead.html. The in-depth online SIL Resource Center continues General Monitors' 45-year history of focusing on customer problems by offering a diverse set of industry leading safety solutions.

The global importance of Safety Integrity Levels has grown substantially in the oil/gas, petrochemical and other process industries over the last 10 years. Despite its expanded use and importance, for many end users, systems integrators, and product vendors, SIL is still a confusing concept. Safety Integrity Levels are often misinterpreted and incorrectly implemented. In order to fully understand SIL and its implications, it helps to be familiar with the umbrella concept known as Functional Safety. It also helps to understand how SIL applies to Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) within the process industries. Both SIL and SIS are explained in detail at the SIL Online Center http://www.gmigasandflame.com/sil_lead.html.

SIL is a measure of safety system performance, in terms of probability of failure on demand (PFD). This convention was chosen based on the numbers: it is easier to express the probability of failure rather than that of proper performance (e.g., 1 in 100,000 vs. 99,999 in 100,000). Functional Safety, as defined by IEC standard 61508, is the safety that control systems provide to an overall process or plant by reducing risk to an acceptable level. The concept of Functional Safety was developed in response to the growing need for improved confidence in safety systems.

Major accidents around the world, as well as the increasing use of electrical, electronic or programmable electronic systems to carry out safety functions, have raised safety awareness. Industry experts began to address functional safety and formalize an approach for reducing risk in the process plant environment. The results of this effort were the development of standards IEC 61508, IEC 61511, and ANSI/ISA 84, which are performance based, unlike previous standards which were generally prescriptive in nature.

Visitors to the Online SIL Resource Center at General Monitors' web site can quickly access helpful and informative documents to clarify SIL concepts, applications and standards. The SIL Online Resource Center offers an example of how to determine Safety Integrity Levels and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) as well as useful links to associated standards organizations. An extensive Questions and Answers section is provided on the background and requirements of SIL and Safety Instrumented Systems process industries' practices, along with a Common SIL Myths section.

General Monitors believes that it is imperative for the company to continuously validate its work and improve its processes. The company's approach to ensuring a high level of functional safety is based on the globally recognized IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards. It encompasses a comprehensive set of activities conducted both in-house and by partnering with leading safety experts from around the world. Together, these activities provide General Monitors with an integrated process for designing products, assessing functional safety, improving robustness, and validating performance.

An extensive Failure Mode Effects and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) is conducted early in the development of each new product and is used throughout the development cycle to improve functional safety. At General Monitors, the FMEDA is a critical design tool that is used to develop the highest level of safety products; it is not simply a post-design "paper study" that is conducted to obtain a so-called "target SIL rating." General Monitors' partners with globally recognized functional safety experts who have a wealth of experience, are involved with the safety standards committees, and are Certified Functional Safety Experts (CFSE). This allows General Monitors to provide its customers with comprehensive safety solutions that have the backing of their 45+ years of experience, along with the independent validation of leading functional safety partners.
