ANN ARBOR – Techstreet.Com, which provides technical standards online, has added a new client, the Fluid Controls Institute. Techstreet, a business unit of Thomson Scientific, will design, build, promote and manage the new online store and provide digital document delivery and customer service for FCI members and customers worldwide.

This is the first time that FCI has made its technical standards available for purchase on the Internet.

The Fluid Controls Institute is a nonprofit association of manufacturers of fluid control and conditioning equipment. The Institute currently serves 40 member companies with standards development, education and training to promote better products of higher quality and greater usefulness. It is organized into eight product-specific sections designed to address relevant issues and technologies for Regulators, Secondary Pressure Drainers, Control Valves, Pipeline Strainers, Solenoid Valves, Instruments, Steam Traps, and Safety and Relief Valves. The list of publications available from the new online store include standards, recommended procedures, pressure ratings, terms and definitions, test methods and conditions, classifications, and operating principles.

“The new online store will make FCI standards and technical documents more accessible than ever before,” said Craig Addington, director of the Fluid Controls Institute. “With the new e-commerce business model, we can serve members and customers with easy online ordering, automatic member discounts and document delivery 24 hours a day. This unique partnership will enable us to focus more on our core competencies while Techstreet manages sales and delivery.”
