Process Measurement and Control Division

The Process Measurement and Control Division (also known as PMCD) is organized within the Automation and Technology Department of ISA. The primary goal of PMCD is to advance the interests and knowledge of its members. PMCD supports its nearly 6,000 members by operating Technical Committees, publishing an industry-specific newsletter and participating with other ISA divisions in technical symposia.

PMCD focuses on primary sensors, control hardware and software, and final control elements.  Our active technical committees reflect these areas of interest:
