SIL4 Interlocking Manifold for HIPPS Systems

Complete safety-certified system assembly for high integrity pressure protection

What is a HIPPS?

A HIPPS (High Integrity Pressure Protection System) is a safety instrumented system used in the process industry to prevent line overpressures. The system promptly isolates the line through electronic devices that interact with the instrumentation, preventing damage caused by events that cannot be managed by normal operation or wrong action of the operator.

It is a fully automated system capable of mitigating potential hazards, providing economic advantages (saving manufacturing and maintenance costs), environmental advantages (reducing emissions), and safety advantages (eliminating human intervention).

✓ SIL4 Certified – The Highest Safety Level

Indra’s Interlocking Manifold meets IEC 61508 requirements for Safety Integrity Level 4, ensuring maximum protection and reliability in critical applications.

Engineered for Maximum Safety & Reliability

Indra’s SIL4 Interlocking Manifold represents the pinnacle of safety instrumentation for HIPPS systems. Manufactured entirely in-house at our Italian facility, each manifold is engineered and tested to meet the most stringent international safety standards, providing the highest level of protection available in the industry.

The integration of manifold, protective enclosure, and accessories into a complete system assembly eliminates compatibility concerns and reduces installation time. All components are manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel 316/316L and certified for hazardous area applications with ATEX, IECEx, and ECAS approvals.

With proven performance in extreme environments—from offshore platforms in the North Sea to desert installations in the Middle East—Indra’s Interlocking Manifolds deliver reliable overpressure protection in the world’s most demanding applications. Our complete turnkey solution includes engineering support, custom configurations, and full documentation for safety compliance.

The modular design allows for flexible configurations (2oo3 single inlet, 2oo3 three common inlets, or 1oo1 triple redundant), while the IP66-rated enclosure protects against environmental hazards including extreme temperatures, humidity, and corrosive atmospheres. Optional accessories such as self-regulating heaters, proximity switches, and temperature monitoring ensure optimal performance across all operating conditions.
