EXHIBIT 99 PRESS RELEASE
November 12, 1999
ENGINEERING MEASUREMENTS COMPANY
(NASDAQ SYMBOL: EMCO)
Joint development agreement
Corporate Contact: Charles E. Miller
Engineering Measurements Company (NASDAQ: EMCO) and Micron Technology,
Inc. (NYSE: MU) today announced a joint development agreement for the
purpose of developing certain types of advanced flow measurement and
control devices predicated on EMCO's proprietary MACH-ONET technology.
Micron is a world leader in the manufacturing of DRAM memory
components, devices commonly used in computers and a variety of other
electronic applications.
EMCO is a Longmont, Colorado based company and has been manufacturing
flowmeter products and controllers for over 30 years. Charles E. Miller,
president of EMCO, indicated that, "We are enthusiastic about this
agreement and the opportunity to work with Micron to develop advanced flow
control technologies for the semiconductor industry."
Miller also indicated that, "the agreement with Micron enhances our
ability to stay in tune with the rapid changes and developments occurring
within the semiconductor industry."
Through this agreement, EMCO and Micron will consult on the design and
manufacture of the MACH-ONET mass-flow controller and enhancements. Mass
flow controllers are extensively used by electronic component manufacturers
to control critical manufacturing processes.
"As the semiconductor industry moves to smaller and smaller feature
sizes, greater demands are placed on control technologies," said Trung
Doan, Micron's Vice President of Process Development. "We believe that the
devices that will be developed will offer improved benefits in flow control
needed for advanced processes."

Engineering Measurements Company, (303) 651-0550.
