Updates to IEC 61987: Industrial-Process Measurement and Control

The International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) has published new lists of properties (LOPs) for “Industrial-process measurement and control – Data structures and elements in process equipment catalogues.” IEC 61987-12:2016 deals with LOPs for flow measuring equipment for electronic data exchange, while IEC 61987-13:2016 provides LOPs for pressure measuring equipment for electronic data exchange.

Descriptions from the IEC website:

IEC 61987-12:2016 provides an operating list of properties (OLOP) for the description of the operating parameters and the collection of requirements for a flow measuring equipment and device lists of properties (DLOP) for the description of a number of flow measuring equipment types.

IEC 61987-13:2016 provides an operating list of properties (OLOP) for the description of the operating parameters and the collection of requirements for a pressure measuring equipment, and device lists of properties (DLOP) for a range of pressure measuring equipment types describing them.
