Standards
This standard specifies inter alia conversion factors to be used in converting quantities measured in Imperial to SI and other units. It sets out procedures for the uniform use for these conversion factors. It is intended for use in everyday operations in government commerce, industry, education certain branches of technology and sport.
This terminology is a compilation of definitions of technical terms used in the plastic piping industry. Terms that are generally understood or adequately defined in other readily available sources are not included. When a term is used in an ASTM document for which Committee F17 is responsible it is included only when judged, after review , by Subcommittee F17.91 to be a generally usable term.
This International Standard gives specifications for the angular coordinate system to be used in the design of scales, reticles or other display means incorporated in instruments for determining optical data on human eyes or corrective lenses for human eyes.
This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations.
This standard defines working positions and makes it possible to locate welds in space with reference to the horizontal reference plane (usually parallel to the workshop floor) by means of angles of slope and rotation which are independent from surrounding construction.
This document defines welding positions for testing and production, for butt and fillet welds, in all product forms.
Annex A gives examples of the limits of the slope of a weld axis and the rotation of the weld face about the weld axis for welding positions in production welds.
Annex B gives a comparison of this document and US designation systems for welding positions.
This standard gives recommendations on the serviceability of buildings against vibrations. It covers three recipients of vibrations: a) human occupancy in buildings and on pedestrian bridges; b) the contents of the building; c) the structure of the building. It applies to buildings, pedestrian bridges and walkways found within buildings or connecting them and does not include bridges that carry vehicular traffic, nor the design of foundations or supporting structures of machinery.
This Standard specifies the requirements and the materials used in the manufacturing of scales and masses.
Within the general scope defined in Section I, ANSI/ASME B30.17 applies to overhead and gantry cranse with a top running bridge, of single-girder construction, utilizing one or more underhung hoists (see ANSI B30.16) operating on the bottom flange of the bridge girder. This Standard includes both power-driven and hand-operated equipment.
