Standard in Practice
In order to ensure the
interchangeability between
the large number of process
automation products, standards
and guidelines have been
established. They refer to the
mechanical interfaces and
are intended to facilitate the
assembly of a process valve, the
design and fabrication of the
control cabinet, or the design of
a product used in a hazardous
environment.
