6. How do you quantify a fault tree?
In hazard studies, fault trees mainly show :
operating equipment failures (pumps, compressors, temperature sensors, etc.);
failure of safety-related devices (high-level sensor, temperature sensor, valves, etc.);
human error due to non-compliance with procedures, errors during maintenance operations, operating errors, etc. ;
degradation of the mechanical properties of materials (corrosion, cracking, etc.);
natural hazards (landslides, lightning strikes, etc.);
domino effects (projectile impact, overpressure, heat flux);
common events (filling phase, hose connection operation, etc.).
