(Revision of ASME B1 8.11-1991)
The 1996 edition of this Standard is being issued with an automatic addenda
subscription service.The use of an addenda allows revisions made in response
to public review commentsor committee actions to be published as necessary;
revisions published in addenda will become effective 6 months after the Date
of Issuance of the addenda. The next editionof this Standard is scheduled for
publication in 2001.
This code or standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for
American National Standards. The Consensus Committee that approved the code or standard was
balanced to assure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an
opportunity to participate. The proposed code or standard was made available for public review
and comment which provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia,
regulatory agencies, and the public-at-large.

validity of any such patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own
responsibility.
Participation by federal agency representative(s)or person(s) affiliated with industry is not to be
interpreted as government or industry endorsement of this code or standard.
ASME accepts responsibility for only those interpretations issued in accordance with governing
ASME procedures and policies which preclude the issuance of interpretations by individual
volunteers.
