Can anyone give me a link where I can get all the codes and standards of instruments like orifice plate, venturi, thermocouple? I have tried searching for it online also but it is not of much help.

Note that if you join ISA for $85 for a year, the standards can be downloaded for free. That's a bargain and a half.

I thought it was limited to like one download a year.

ALL the standards can now be downloaded as well as whitepapers etc. with membership. I am reading off of renewal letter:

Free Unlimited ISA Standards Free access to 40+ online pre-recorded web seminars Free downloads of 2500+ technical papers

ISA policy changed about year, maybe two years ago.

I know it's true, because I've downloaded three or four after having logged in.

Nope.

Originally, like ten years ago, we passed a "all you can download for $25 per year" when I was on the Executive Board, but immediately the staff started whining that ISA was "losing money" by providing that member benefit...so the then-current Executive Board rescinded the benefit and instituted the insulting one you mentioned. Last year, however, a more enlightened Board re-instituted the value of the member benefit...and now you should hear the staff whining again about how ISA is "losing way too much" money by allowing members to download standards for free.

ISA staff and some leaders, too, have always had a history of not being able to identify the value of a member benefit, and the benefit to the organization a real valuable member benefit (unlike car insurance and travel discounts) can provide in recruitment and other strategic issues.
