The oil and natural gas industry provides the fuel for American life, warming our homes, powering our businesses and giving us the mobility to enjoy this great land. As the primary trade association of that industry, API represents more than 400 members involved in all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry. Our association draws on the experience and expertise of our members and staff to support a strong and viable oil and natural gas industry. Long before September 11, the American oil and natural gas industry was aware of the need for effective security to protect vulnerable pipelines, refineries, storage tanks, ocean-going tankers and other facilities. But the new reality that arrived with the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon prompted the industry to swiftly strengthen its security systems both in the United States and in other nations.

Like many professional bodies The Institute of Measurement and Control arose through the need for a group of like-minded people to meet and exchange ideas. They first met at the Waldorf Hotel in London during October 1943 and a society of instrument technology was proposed. The Institute was founded in May 1944 as the Society of Instrument Technology (SIT) to cater for the growing body of instrument technologists whose interests transcended the fields of existing institutions.The Institute brings together thinkers and practitioners from the many disciplines which have a common interest in measurement and control. It organises meetings, seminars, exhibitions, and national and international conferences on a large number of topics. It has a very strong level of local section activity, providing opportunities for interchange of experience and for introducing advances in theory and application.
