ASME B40.100

Abstract

<strong>FOREWORD</strong><br>ASME Standards Committee B40 is comprised of a balanced cross section of pressure gauge users, manufacturers, and interested members representing governmental agencies, testing laboratories, and other standards-producing bodies. All are convinced that national standards such as this one serve not only to provide product performance and configuration guidelines, but also to inform and update the specifier and user regarding the science of pressure gauge production, application, and use. The standards are vehicles by which the Committee as a body can transmit to users the benefits of their combined knowledge and experience as regards the proper and safe use of pressure gauges.<br>This Standard is advisory only. Its use is entirely a voluntary matter and shall in no way preclude the manufacture or use of products that do not conform. Neither ASME nor the B40 Committee assumes responsibility for the effects of observance or nonobservance of recommendations made herein.<br>An addenda was issued on December 31, 2001, adding Nonmandatory Appendix C to B40.1, B40.2, B40.5, and B40.6.<br>This Standard was approved by the B40 Standards Committee and approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute on September 19, 2005.
