16、DIn July 1993, the ASME B16 Committee gave to its Subcommittee C the assignment to convertthe API 590 Steel Line Blanks Standard into an ASME standard. The American Petroleum Instituteno longer publishes the API 590 Standard.These line blanks were designed in accordance with the rules of the ASME B3
17、1.3-2002 edition.Materials and relevant footnotes have been added following the ASME format.Significant additions made to this 2005 edition include reference to the use of all materialslisted in B16.5 Table 1-A plus Metric units. The added materials of construction include additionsto classes of all
18、oy steels, stainless steels, and nickel alloys. This edition has also been metricatedover previous editions to include both U.S. Customary units (in parenthesis) and Metric units inthe text, Metric units in dimensional tables in the body, and U.S. Customary units in dimensionaltables in Nonmandatory
19、 Annex A.All requests for interpretations 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.The B16 Committee operates under procedures accredited by the American National StandardsInsti
20、tute (ANSI). Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, this revision tothe 1997 edition was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on September 19,2005 with the designation ASME B16.48-2005.ivCopyright ASME International Provided by IHS under license with ASME Not for Resale

Th
27、is requires that an observed or calcu-lated value shall be rounded off to the nearest unit inthe last right-hand digit used for expressing the limit.Decimal values and tolerances do not imply a particularmethod of measurement.1.7 SizeNPS, followed by a dimensionless number, is the des-ignation for n

R
30、atings are the maximum allowableworking gage pressure at the temperature shown inTables 2 and F-2 of ASME B16.5 for the appropriatematerial and pressure class. For intermediate tempera-tures, linear interpolation between temperatures withina pressure class is permitted by ASME B16.5.2.2.2 System Pre
31、ssure Testing. Line blanks may besubjected to system tests at a pressure not to exceed1.5 times the 38C (100F) rating rounded off to the nexthigher 1 bar (25 psi) increment.
