Here's a six-step plan for using the Instrument Society of America's (ISA)
standardized procedure to size control valves for compressible flow, ISA es
tablished a committee in 1961 to develop standard control valve sizing equa
tions, Their efforts culminated in a procedure that has achieved the status
of American National Standard, Later, the International Electrotechnical C
ommission (IEC) used the ISA works as a basis for international standards,
Except for some slight: differences, the ISA and IEC standards have been ha
rmonized.
