Committee is working on revising Chapters 4 (orifices) and 5 (nozzles). Mr. Keyser requested feedback on electromagnetic flow meters. The Committee voted to not include it in PTC 19.5. Instead, provide a reference and a link to the recently revised MFC16-2007, Measurement of Fluid Flow in Closed Conduits by Means of Electromagnetic Flowmeters. Dave Keyser reported that he wanted to submit the revised sections for review but was told that the whole document had to be submitted. The Secretary said that this was a misunderstanding.
