36、ly evident from 1915 to1925. To 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 witht

37、hat Society as sole sponsor. After 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 weregive

38、n to securing uniformity among 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 a

39、dded on refrigeration piping was 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

40、 appeared in 1944 and 1947, respectively, 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

41、explanation or interpretationof 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

42、higher requirements warranted 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

43、to reaffirm their represen-tatives 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

44、 “members at large” to represent 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 C

45、ommittee officers andsection chairmen.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 s

46、tandards and material specifications 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 organiza

47、tion and by the American StandardsAssociation. 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 addres

48、sing gas transmission and distribu-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 transmi

49、ssion anddistribution piping that would not require cross-referencing to other sections of the Code.viiCopyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-The first Edition of this integrated document, known as American Standard Code for PressurePiping, Sectio
