Informational purpose

Content on CurryControls.com is general technical reference information provided for educational and reference purposes only. It is not engineering advice for a specific installation. All information must be independently verified against current codes, standards, manufacturer documentation, project requirements, and qualified professional judgment before it is relied upon or applied.

The full limits of use are set out in the Information & Calculator Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.

No professional relationship

Use of CurryControls.com, submission of a contact form, use of a calculator, or communication through the website does not by itself create an engineer-client, consultant-client, contractor-client, attorney-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

Nothing on this site has been reviewed against your installation, your equipment, your process, or the conditions at your site. A qualified person who knows those things has to make the decision.

User verification

You are responsible for independently verifying all information obtained from CurryControls.com before relying upon or applying it, against current codes, regulations, adopted standards, manufacturer documentation, project drawings and specifications, equipment ratings, site conditions, the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction, owner and utility standards, employer procedures, and qualified engineering or professional judgment.

All information and calculations must be independently verified by the user before being relied upon or applied to actual equipment, systems, designs, installations, programs, processes, or projects.

Calculators

Calculators on CurryControls.com are reference, educational, estimating, and checking aids only. Results may contain assumptions, approximations, errors, or omissions and must be independently verified by the user before use against applicable codes, standards, manufacturer requirements, project requirements, and qualified professional judgment. Do not rely on a calculator result as the sole basis for design, equipment selection, programming, construction, safety, operation, or code compliance.

Every calculator on this site shows its formula, its assumptions, and its arithmetic so a result can be reproduced and checked. A result is a calculated reference result, never a determination that anything is correct, approved, compliant, or safe. Where a calculation affects safety, code compliance, regulatory compliance, equipment protection, engineering design, or process operation, the result should be independently reviewed by a qualified person familiar with the specific application.

Programming examples

This example is provided for educational and reference purposes. Actual behavior may vary depending on manufacturer, hardware, software version, firmware version, configuration, communications architecture, existing program logic, process requirements, and safety requirements.

Review, test, and independently validate all logic before placing it into service.

No programming example on CurryControls.com should be assumed safe or appropriate for a specific process or installation without project-specific review.

Codes and standards

References to codes and standards are provided for general informational purposes. Requirements may vary by edition, jurisdiction, application, and Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Always consult the official current published document and determine the edition applicable to the specific project or installation.

CurryControls.com does not determine code compliance and is not an Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Reference data may become outdated or may not correspond to the edition adopted for a specific jurisdiction or project. Verify all values against the applicable official publication and current manufacturer documentation.

Manufacturer information

References to manufacturers, products, model numbers, software platforms, technical specifications, companies, standards organizations, or other organizations are provided for informational purposes and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, authorization, or affiliation unless expressly stated.
