14、e Copper Tube and Fitting Manufacturers Standardization Committeein 1929. When a general agreement had been reached, the draft of the proposed standard wassubmitted to Sectional Committee A40 on Minimum Requirements for Plumbing andStandardization of Plumbing Equipment, of the American Standards Ass

15、ociation (ASA). SectionalCommittee A40 was jointly sponsored by the American Society of Sanitary Engineering and TheAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).Final ASA approval and designation as an American Standard, ASA A40.2-1936, was grantedJanuary 20, 1936.The Standard remained unchanged

16、and without reaffirmation until 1955 when this activitywas transferred from Sectional Committee A40 to Sectional Committee B16 on Standardizationof Pipe Flanges and Fittings, under the sponsorship of ASME, the Mechanical ContractorsAssociation of America, Inc., and the Manufacturers Standardization

17、Society of the Valve andFittings Industry.Subcommittee No. 9 B16 on Solder-Joint Fittings was instructed to develop a revised standard.The revised draft of this Standard was submitted to industry for criticism and comment. Thefinal draft was approved by Sectional Committee B16 and its sponsors by le

18、tter ballot.ASA approval and designation as ASA B16.26-1958 was granted on February 12, 1958. Beginningin 1965, consideration was given to reviewing the Standard in light of progress made in theproduction of these fittings. Subcommittee No. 9 completed its work by recommending theupdating of referen

19、ced standards and thread specifications and including additional material.Following approval by the USA Standards Committee and Sponsors, the revision was approvedby the new USA Standards Institute on April 21, 1967.In 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ASME Commit

20、teeoperating under procedures accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Inthe 1988 edition, metric units were omitted, and references to other standards were updated.Following approval by the B16 Main Committee and the ASME Supervisory Board, and afterpublic review, the Standar

21、d was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI onAugust 23, 1988.In the 2006 edition, metric units became the primary reference units while U.S. Customaryunits were maintained in either parenthetical or separate forms. SI values were positioned in themain text; U.S. Customary values were po

22、sitioned in Mandatory Appendix I. The Scope wasclarified, and a section on hydrostatic testing was added, along with a quality assurance recom-mendation in Nonmandatory Appendix B. Additional information concerning the design of thetube flare was also incorporated, in answer to user requests for suc

23、h information, and wasreported in Nonmandatory Appendix A. Following approval by the B16 Main Committee andthe ASME Supervisory Board, and after public review, the Standard was approved as an AmericanNational Standard by ANSI on May 23, 2006.In the 2011 edition, references to ASME standards were rev

24、ised to no longer list specificedition years; the latest edition of ASME publications applies unless stated otherwise. Materialsmanufactured to other editions of the referenced ASTM standards have been permitted to beused to manufacture fittings meeting the requirements of this Standard as long as t

25、he fittingmanufacturer verifies the material meets the requirements of the referenced edition. Followingapproval by the Standards Committee and the ASME Board on PTCS, the revision to the 2006edition was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on August 9, 2011 with thenew designation ASME

26、 B16.26-2011.In this 2013 edition, provisions have been included to recognize low lead alloys to complywith the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act, which will be effective January 2014. Following approvalby the ASME B16 Standards Committee, approval as an American National Standard was givenby ANSI on Jul

27、y 29, 2013, with the new designation ASME B16.26-2013.ivRequests for interpretations or suggestions for revisions should be sent to the Secretary,B16 Committee, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Two Park Avenue, New York,NY 10016-5990.vASME B16 COMMITTEEStandardization of Valves, Flanges

34、o ASTM B88 (water and gen-eral plumbing systems). Included are requirements forthe following:(a) pressure rating(b) size(c) marking(d) material(e) dimensions(f) threading(g) hydrostatic testing2 GENERAL2.1 ReferencesCodes, standards, and specifications containing provi-sions to the extent referenced

35、 herein constitute require-ments of this Standard. These reference documents arelisted in Mandatory Appendix II.2.2 ConventionFor determining conformance with this Standard, theconvention for fixing significant digits where limits(maximum and minimum values) are specified shall beas defined in ASTM

36、E29. This requires that an observedor calculated value be rounded off to the nearest unitin the last right-hand digit used for expressing the limit.Decimal values and tolerances do not imply a particularmethod of measurement.2.3 Relevant UnitsThis Standard states values in both SI (Metric) andU.S. C

37、ustomary units. These systems of units are to beregarded separately as standard. 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

38、 system of unitsbe used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems constitutes nonconformance withthe Standard.2.4 Quality SystemsRequirements relating to the product manufacturersquality system programs are described inNonmandatory Appendix B.12.5 Service ConditionsCriteria fo
