Call for Abstracts

The Technical Committee consists of representatives of NIST and CEESI. The selection of papers for the symposium will be conducted by the 7th ISFFM Technical Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts. Only papers containing high quality, original and unpublished material will be accepted for presentation. Therefore, the abstracts must provide a clear summary of the scope and originality of submitted papers. Papers intended to sell or market flow meters or speculate about performance or possible results/plans of research will not be considered. Abstracts are due by March 31, 2009. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by April 2009. The 7th ISFFM will cover a broad scope of research and technology development topics associated with all areas of fluid flow metering. Papers are invited from industrial research laboratories, universities, government laboratories and industrial field studies.

Authors should be aware that once an abstract has been accepted, they must register on line or via fax as a presenter. Papers that are not presented at the symposium will not be published in the final proceedings.


Abstract Specifications

1. not exceed 300 words (excluding separate supporting figures)
2. have descriptive but brief titles
