40、ngly 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 (ANSI) initiatedProject B31 in March 1926 at the request of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers an

41、dwith that Society as sole sponsor. After several years of work by Sectional Committee B31 andits subcommittees, 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 w

42、eregiven 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 se

43、ction on refrigeration piping was prepared in cooperation with the AmericanSociety of Refrigeration Engineers and complemented the American Standard Code for MechanicalRefrigeration. This work culminated in the 1942 American Standard Code for Pressure Piping.Supplements 1 and 2 of the 1942 Code, whi

44、ch 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 inquiries requiri

45、ng 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 the

46、se 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 bodi

47、es 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 had one or more representa-tives on the sectional committee, plus a few

48、 “members-at-large” to represent general interests.Code activities were subdivided according to the scope of the several sections. General directionof Code activities rested with the Standards Committee officers and an executive committee,membership of which consisted principally of Standards Commit

49、tee officers and section 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 standards 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
