15、A Quality System Program 20iiiFOREWORDIn the spring of 1921, when the unification and extension of the flanged and threaded fittingsstandards in force in this country seemed desirable, the American Engineering StandardsCommittee subsequently the American Standards Association and currently the Ameri

16、canNational Standards Institute (ANSI) authorized the organization of a Sectional Committee onthe Standardization of Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings. The following organizations served asjoint sponsors: Heating, Piping, and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (laterthe Mechanical Con

17、tractors Association of America), Manufacturers Standardization Society ofthe Valve and Fittings Industry, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.At the second meeting of the Sectional Committee held in New York on December 16, 1921,a report was submitted by the Subcommittee on Threaded Fi

18、ttings. It indicated clearly that goodprogress was already being made toward the development of an American Standard for cast ironthreaded fittings intended for services of 125-lb and 250-lb steam pressure. The review of theproposals of the manufacturers Committee of Five was assigned to the Subcomm

19、ittee on ThreadedFittings, and after a thorough study, it made its report to the Sectional Committee. The Standardwas finally completed, approved, and published in December 1927 with the designationASA B16d-1927.To bring this Standard in line with the best current practice, a revision was begun inSe

20、ptember 1936, providing for hydraulic service ratings, material specifications, tolerances onalignment, threading of fittings, and dimensions of some additional sizes, as well as dimensionaltables covering reducing couplings, caps, and closed- and open-pattern return bends. The revisionwas approved

21、in March 1941.The Standard was reviewed in 1947 and was approved by the Sectional Committee. Followingapproval of the sponsor bodies, the standard was presented for approval as an American Standard.It received that approval in December 1949, and was given the new designation ASA B16.4-1949.A review

22、was started in 1961 by Subcommittee No. 2. A draft involving only minor changeswas approved by the Sectional Committee and sponsor bodies. Final ASA approval was grantedon December 26, 1963.As the changes in organization occurred and standards designation increased, SubcommitteeNo. 2 began a review

23、in 1968. Minor changes included updating references and bringing theStandard into conformance with adopted policies of the B16 Committee. Final approval wasgranted by ANSI on January 20, 1971.In 1975, Subcommittee B (formerly 2), in its regular five-year review of the document, recom-mended the addi

24、tion of metric (SI) equivalents and updating of referenced standards. The revisededition received approval by ANSI on August 30, 1977.In 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 became the ASME B16 StandardsCommittee, operating with the same scope under ASME procedures accredited by ANSI. A n

25、ewrevision of the standard, including rationalization of metric equivalent dimensions and updatingof referenced standards, was approved and published as ANSI/ASME B16.4-1985.The 1992 edition of B16.4 omitted metric units, established U.S. customary units as the standard,and provided for electrodepos

26、ition as an alternative to hot dipping for zinc coating. Editorialrevisions were made to clarify and correct the text. Following approval by the StandardsCommittee and ASME, approval as an American National Standard was given onDecember 2, 1992, with the designation ASME B16.4-1992.In the 1998 editi

27、on of ASME B16.4, the list of referenced standards was updated, a QualitySystem Program Annex added, an issued Interpretation included, and several editorial revisionsmade. Following approval by ASME B16 Subcommittee B and B16 Standards Committee, ANSIapproved this American National Standard on Nove

28、mber 20, 1998.Work started during 1999 to revise the Standard to include metric units as the primary referenceunits while maintaining U.S. Customary units in either parenthetical or separate forms. Followingivapproval by the Standards Committee and the ASME Board, the revision to the 1998 edition of

29、this Standard was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on November 9, 2006.In the 2011 edition, references to ASME standards were revised to no longer list specificedition years; the latest edition of ASME publications applies unless stated otherwise. Materialsmanufactured to other edit

30、ions of the referenced ASTM standards have been permitted to beused to manufacture fittings meeting the requirements of this Standard as long as the fittingmanufacturer verifies the material meets the requirements of the referenced edition. Followingapproval by the Standards Committee and the ASME B

31、oard on PTCS, the revision to the 2006edition was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on August 9, 2011 with thenew designation, ASME B16.4-2011.In this 2016 edition, provisions have been made to revise the dimension and tolerance verbiage.Following approval by the ASME B16 Standards C

32、ommittee, ANSI approved this edition onSeptember 23, 2016, with the new designation ASME B16.4-2016.Requests for interpretation or suggestions for revision should be sent to the Secretary,B16 Standards Committee, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Two Park Avenue,New York, NY 10016-5990.v

Within the text, theU.S. Customary units are shown in parentheses or inseparate tables that appear in Mandatory Appendix I.The values stated in each system are not exact equiva-lents; therefore, it is required that each system of unitsbe used independently of the other
