T

36、o meet this need, the American Engineering Standards Committee (later changed to theAmerican Standards Association, now the American National Standards Institute) initiated ProjectB31 in March 1926 at the request of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and withthat Society as sole sponsor. A

37、fter several years of work by Sectional Committee B31 and itssubcommittees, a first Edition was published in 1935 as an American Tentative Standard Codefor Pressure Piping.A revision of the original tentative standard began in 1937. Several more years of effort weregiven to securing uniformity among

38、 sections, eliminating divergent requirements and discrepan-cies, keeping the Code abreast of current developments in welding technique, calculating stresscomputations, and including reference to new dimensional and material standards. During thisperiod, a new section added on refrigeration piping w

39、as prepared in cooperation with theAmerican Society of Refrigeration Engineers and complemented the American Standard Codefor Mechanical Refrigeration. This work culminated in the 1942 American Standard Code forPressure Piping.Supplements 1 and 2 of the 1942 Code, which appeared in 1944 and 1947, re

40、spectively, introducednew dimensional and material standards, a new formula for pipe wall thickness, and morecomprehensive requirements for instrument and control piping. Shortly after the 1942 Code wasissued, procedures were established for handling inquires requiring explanation or interpretationo

41、f Code requirements and for publishing such inquiries and answers in Mechanical Engineeringfor the information of all concerned.By 1948, continuing increases in the severity of service conditions combined with the develop-ment of new materials and designs to meet these higher requirements warranted

42、more extensivechanges in the Code than could be provided from supplements alone. The decision was reachedby the American Standards Association and the sponsor to reorganize the sectional committeeand its several subcommittees and to invite the various interested bodies to reaffirm their represen-tat

43、ives or to designate new ones.Because of the wide field involved, between 30 and 40 different engineering societies, govern-ment bureaus, trade associations, institutes, and similar organizations have had one or morerepresentatives on the sectional committee, plus a few “members at large” to represe

44、nt generalinterests. Code activities have been subdivided according to the scope of the several sections.General direction of Code activities rested with the Standards Committee officers and an executivecommittee, membership of which consisted principally of Standards Committee officers andsection c

45、hairmen.Following its reorganization in 1948, Standards Committee B31 made an intensive review ofthe 1942 Code that resulted in(a) a general revision and extension of requirements to agree with present day practice(b) the revision of references to existing dimensional standards and material specific

46、ations andthe addition of references to the new ones(c) the clarification of ambiguous or conflicting requirementsA revision was presented for letter ballot vote of Standards Committee B31. Following approvalby this body, the project was approved by the sponsor organization and by the American Stand

47、ardsAssociation. It was finally designated as an American Standard in February 1951, with thedesignation B31.1-1951.Standards Committee B31 at its annual meeting of November 29, 1951, authorized the separatepublication of a section of the Code for Pressure Piping addressing gas transmission and dist

48、ribu-tion piping systems, to be complete with the applicable parts of Section 2, Gas and Air PipingSystems, Section 6, Fabrication Details, and Section 7, Materials Their Specifications andIdentification. The purpose was to provide an integrated document for gas transmission anddistribution piping t

49、hat would not require cross-referencing to other sections of the Code.viiCopyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASMENot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-The first Edition of this integrated document, known as American Standard Code for PressurePiping, Section 8, Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems, was published in 1952 andconsisted almost
