TECHNIS
Software packages for specific safety and reliability applications
Safety and Reliability Assessment
Led by renowned reliability and risk assessment expert David J Smith, TECHNIS offers a range of low cost software for specific safety and reliability applications.
This includes FARADIP.FOUR, a unique failure rate and failure mode data bank, based on over 50 published data sources together with TECHNIS’ own collection of reliability data.
The software packages
- FARADIP.FOUR Failure Data Bank
- TTREE Fault Tree Analysis
- COMPARE Quantified RCM
- BETAPLUS Beta Model
Technis’ software packages include the unique FARADIP.FOUR reliability data base, developed for over 30 years and now widely used for risk and reliability work for both mechanical and electrical equipment.
FARADIP.FOUR
A unique failure rate and failure mode data bank, based on over 50 published data sources together with Technis’s own collection of reliability data.
Developed by TECHNIS, FARADIP is widely used as a data reference. It provides failure rate DATA RANGES for a nested hierarchy of items covering electrical, electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, instrumentation and protective devices. Failure mode percentages are included, together with an FMEA package which calculates Safe Failure Fraction (per IEC 61508).
FARADIP has been steadily developed and extended since its inception in 1987, since when there has now been 43 updates.The new FARADIP.FOUR blends old and new data by compensating for reliability growth to provide rates which are credible values for current equipment.
Compare
A Quantified Reliability Centred Maintenance Package with graphical outputs for use in word processing.
Developed by TECHNIS, COMPARE is a low cost Quantified Reliability Centred Maintenance Package with graphical outputs for use in word processing. It provides:
- Weibull analysis of failure times with graphical plots and three independent means of assessing significance.
- Optimum replacement intervals for given costs.
- Optimum proof-test intervals for given costs.
- System availability and optimum spares holding calculations.
TTREE
A low cost fault tree package offering the majority of functions and array sizes normally required in reliability analysis.
Developed by TECHNIS, TTREE is a low cost fault tree package which offers the majority of functions and array sizes normally required in reliability analysis.
TTREE is user friendly and, unlike more complicated products, can be assimilated in less than an hour. A comprehensive range of importance measures are provided, to identify the ranking of critical failures. There are user friendly inputs and graphical outputs for use in word processing packages
Betaplus
A new generation partial BETA model for assessing common cause failure.
Developed by TECHNIS, BETAPLUS is a new generation partial BETA model for assessing common cause failure. Unlike previous models, it takes account of proof-test intervals and involves positive scoring of CCF related features rather than a subjective “range score”.
It has been calibrated against 25 field data results and has the facility for further development and calibration by the user. It addresses M out of N redundancy. It is suitable for IEC 61508 analyses.
