41、al Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-FOREWORDThe need for a national code for pressure piping became increasingly evident from 1915 to1925. To meet this need, the American Engineering Standards Committee (later

42、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. After several years of work by Sectional Committee B31 and itssubcommit

43、tees, 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 sections, eliminating divergent requirements and discrepan-cies, keep

44、ing 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 was prepared in cooperation with theAmerican Society of Refrigeration E

45、ngineers 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, respectively, introducednew dimensional and material standards, a new fo

46、rmula 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 interpretationof Code requirements and for publishing such inquiries and answers in M

47、echanical 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 more extensivechanges in the Code than could be provided from suppleme

48、nts 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-tatives or to designate new ones.Because of the wide field involved, betw

49、een 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 represent generalinterests. Code activities have been subdivided according to the scope of the several section
