"must," "shall," and "will" is mandatory. The use of "should,"
"would," and "ought" denotes recommended practice. All the

the time of its preparation. In order that the PTC may continue to
be useful, any part of this Code is automatically superseded by any
of the following actions:
(a) approval of new or revised units, values of
physical constants, or flui properties;
(b) inclusion of equipment not covered by this Code in
the PTC series; or
(c) approval by the Board on Performance Test Codes of
a new Code not conforming to this document.
Such actions will be published in Mechanical Engineering as they
occur, and this Code will be amended thereafter.
