This resulted in the development and balloting
12、 of a draft forASME B18.31.3, Threaded Rod (Inch Series). Subsequently it was decided that a companiondocumentformetricthreadedrodshouldbedeveloped.Althoughthreadedrodiswidelyavailablein the marketplace, there were no current ISO or American National Standards for threadedrod. DOD-S-63543 and DOD-S-
13、63543/2 specifications, covering metric threaded rod in severalmaterials, were cancelled in 1995.This Standard specifically identifies many of the most common materials and coatings availablein threaded rod but is also applicable to other materials and coatings as specified by a purchaser.Standard l
14、engths are identified but this Standard permits other lengths to be ordered.The first draft was balloted in March 2009 with a single disapproval. Subcommittee 31 adjudi-catedthecommentsandagreedtomakeseveralchanges.Thechangeswereballotedandapprovedby B18 Subcommittee 31 and by the B18 Standards Comm
15、ittee with the closure of a ballot inAugust 2009.

Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changesthatappearnecessaryor desirable,asdemonstratedbytheexperience gainedfromtheapplicationof the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.The Committee welcomes proposals f
25、or revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should beas specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detaileddescription of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing al
26、ternative rules whenjustified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or toprovide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASMEapproval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.Requests for Cases shall provide
27、a Statement of Needand Background Information. The requestshould identify the standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written as aQuestion and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicatethe applicable edition(s) of the standard to which the
28、proposed Case applies.Interpretations. Upon request, the B18 Standards Committee will render an interpretation ofany requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a writtenrequest sent to the Secretary of the B18 Standards Committee.The request for an interpretatio
29、n should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommendedthat the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation isbeing request
30、ed.Question: Phrase the question as a requestfor an interpretation of a specific requirementsuitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approvalof a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plansor drawings that are necessary to explain the question;
