13、th ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-FOREWORDThe B16 Standards Committee was organized in the spring of 1920 and held its organizational meetingon November 21 of that year. The group operated as a Sectional Committee (later redesignated as a Stan

14、dardsCommittee) under the authorization of the American Engineering Standards Committee subsequently namedAmerican Standards Association, United States of America Standards Institute, and now American NationalStandards Institute (ANSI). Sponsors for the group were the American Society of Mechanical

15、Engineers,Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry, and the Heating and PipingContractors National Association (later the Mechanical Contractors Association of America). In 1982, theB16 Committee was reorganized as an ASME Committee operating under procedures accredit

16、ed by ANSI.The American Gas Association determined that standardization of gas valves used in distribution systemswas desirable and needed. The A.G.A. Task Committee on Standards for Valves and Shutoffs was formedand development work commenced in 1958. In 1968, it was determined that a more acceptab

17、le documentwould result if approval was gained from ANSI, and to facilitate such action, the A.G.A. Committee becameSubcommittee 13 of the B16 activity. This B16 group was later renamed Subcommittee L, which is its currentdesignation.The first standard developed by Subcommittee L was ANSI B16.33, wh

18、ich was published in 1973. As afollow-up, ANSI B16.38 was subsequently developed to cover larger sizes of gas valves and shutoffs andwas first published in 1978.ANSI/ASME B16.38-1985 offered more performance requirements than had been customary in many B16standards. It was expected that this would p

19、ermit both manufacturers and users greater latitude in producingand using products made to that standard.Editorial changes were made throughout the text and tables to bring the format in line with the rest ofthe B16 series of standards and to clarify the intent of that standard. Revisions included c

20、hanges to thequalification requirements and to requirements for construction and valve ends, updating of referencestandards, and editorial changes to the text and tables. The cover, headings, and designation of the standardhad also been revised to reflect reorganization of the B16 Committee as an AS

21、ME Committee.Following approval by the B16 Committee and its ASME Supervisory Board, this Standard was approvedas an American National Standard by ANSI on November 9, 1985.This edition of ASME B16.38 updates the 1985 edition. All requirements are metricated, and the referencesare updated to the curr

22、ent revision. The paragraph on minimum levels of performance has been expandedto describe valve types and their relevant standards. The section on “Lubrication (Sealant)” has been renamedInjection Sealant and the paragraph edited for clarity. Paragraphs 2.6 (“Pressure-Containing Materials”),2.7 (“Ga

23、s Resistance”), and 2.8 (“Temperature Resistance”) have been added. The section covering ElastomerComponents is new. Paragraph 3.2 (“Number of Tests”) has been expanded to require that any material ordesign change that could affect qualification test results is reason to repeat all qualification tes

24、ts. Wordingthroughout this edition has been expanded for clarity.All requests for interpretations or suggestions for revisions should be sent to the Administrative Secretary,B16 Committee, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY10016-5990.Following approval by B

25、16 Subcommittee L, the Standards Committee, and ASME, ANSI approved thisAmerican National Standard on December 4, 2007.ivCopyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-ASME B16 COMMITTEEStandardi

35、ugh12 (DN 300) having the inlet and outlet on a commoncenterline. These valves are intended for controlling theflow of gas from open to fully closed positions, for usein distribution and service lines where the maximumgage pressure does not exceed 125 psig (8.6 bar). Valveseats, seals, and stem pack

36、ing may be nonmetallic.1.2 ApplicationThis Standard sets forth the minimum capabilities,characteristics, and properties that a newly manufac-tured metallic valve must possess in order to be consid-ered suitable for use in piping systems indicated above,carrying natural gas, manufactured gas includes

37、 syn-thetic natural gas (SNG), and liquefied petroleum gases(distributed as a vapor, with or without the admixtureof air) or mixtures thereof.1.3 Referenced StandardsStandards and specifications adopted by reference inthis Standard and the names and addresses of the spon-soring organizations are sho
