13、icients 6Mandatory AppendixI References 7Nonmandatory AppendixA Quality System Program 8iiiFOREWORDThe 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.The 2007 edition of ASME B16.38 updated the 1985 Edition. All requirements were metricated, and thereferences were updated to the current revision. The paragraph on minimum levels of performance wasexpanded to describe valve types and their relevant standards. The section on “Lubricatio

22、n (Sealant)” wasrenamed “Injection Sealant,” and the paragraph was edited for clarity. Paragraphs 2.6 (“Pressure-ContainingMaterials”), 2.7 (“Gas Resistance”), and 2.8 (“Temperature Resistance”) were added. The section coveringelastomer components was new. Paragraph 3.2 (“Number of Tests”) was expan

23、ded to require that anymaterial or design change that could affect qualification test results is reason to repeat all qualification tests.Wording throughout this edition was expanded for clarity.The 2012 edition of B16.38 updated the referenced standards in Mandatory Appendix I.All requests for inte

24、rpretations or suggestions for revisions should be sent to the Secretary, B16 Committee,The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.Following approval by B16 Subcommittee L, the B16 Standards Committee, and ASME, ANSI approvedthis American National Standa

30、valves in nominal sizes 212(DN 65) through12 (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

31、 bar). Valveseats, seals, and stem packing 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

32、 natural gas, manufactured gas includes 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 o

33、f the spon-soring organizations are shown in MandatoryAppendix I. It is not considered practical to refer to aspecific edition of each of the standards and specifica-tions in the individual references. Instead, the specificedition references are included in Mandatory AppendixI. A product made in con

34、formance with a prior editionof referenced standards will be considered to be in con-formance, even though the edition reference may bechanged in a subsequent revision of the standard.1.4 Quality SystemsNonmandatory requirements relating to the productmanufacturers quality system program are describ
