Hi All,

This has taken a lot longer than I first anticipated, don't know how many years now, but here it is finally!

Megger has kindly let me publish this OCR-version of the 23rd edition of the AVO Valve Data Manual. It contains the copyright notice they asked me to add, which I have written in the PDF-file but I repeat the whole text here below.

The manual can be downloaded at Frank Philipses website at this link: AVO VDM Edition 23, OCR Version

It is a lot smaller than regular documents as I used ABBYY FineReader to OCR-scan the text and data and then I used Microsoft Word & Excel to make the text and tables and then used pdfFactory PRO to make one searchable PDF-document.

AVO Valve Data Manual 23rd edition, OCR version

This is an OCR version of the 23rd edition of the AVO Valve Data Manual. Much effort has been put into making this manual a reality and I hope it will be useful for everyone.

This manual is probably still as full of errors as the original manual but some obvious errors have been corrected, like data showing up in the wrong column or row, but most of the original data is intact. A lot of effort has been put into proof reading the OCR-version by myself but also by my friend Euan MacKenzie. Valve data which had brackets surrounding two or more rows have been converted into separate rows. I will not write more on this as I am sure to invoke Murphy’s Law or Muphry’s Law if I do!

I have centered the tables on each page so that it will be easy to read on a computer, it is still possible to print the VDM but there is no margin adjustment for even and odd pages. I’ve also made every second row grey in the tables so it will be easier to follow them while reading the data.

Megger has kindly let me publish this OCR version of the manual. This manual therefore contains the text “© Copyright Megger Limited” on all pages and also the following copyright notice by Megger:

“© Copyright Megger. Megger retains copyright in all text, still images, moving images and sound recordings ('Marketing Assets') where they were originally created by AVO, Megger or other legacy or associated companies of Megger Limited. Reproduction of the Marketing Assets must be accompanied by the caption "Copyright Megger Limited". These conditions must also be agreed by the third party to whom this copyright information may be passed.

Megger reserves the right to revoke this licence should the Marketing Assets be used for a purpose which at its absolute discretion Megger deems unacceptable.”

You are therefore bound by the usual copyright rules and are not allowed to reprint or sell this manual in any form whatsoever.

This manual in its PDF-file format is fully searchable in all text and data fields except for in the pictures.
