Revise current ANS: ASME A90.1 - 20XX, Safety Standard for Belt Manlifts	$20	Geraldine A. Burdeshaw	08/11/08
This Standard applies to the manufacture, installation, maintenance, inspection, and operation of manlifts. Manlifts covered by this scope consist of steps (platforms) and accompanying handholds mounted on, or attached to, an endless belt operating vertically in one direction only and being supported by, and driven through, pulleys at the top and bottom. These manlifts are intended for conveyance of persons only. Public Review Draft File (13KB)

Revise current ANS: ASME B18.31.1M - 20XX, Metric Continuous and Double End Studs	$20	Angel L. Guzman	08/26/08
This standard covers the complete dimensional and general data for continuous thread and double end metric series studs recognized as an American National Standard. The following configurations are covered: continuous thread stud: studs that are threaded over their complete length. double end stud (clamping type): studs with screw threads of the same length and configuration on each end. This type of stud serves the function of clamping two bodies together with a nut on each end. double end stud (tap end type): a stud designed to be installed in a tapped hole and usually with different threaded lengths on each end. The tap end studs covered by this standard have the same thread form on each end with the length of the tap end threads equal to approximately 1-1/2 times the nominal thread diameter.

Withdraw current ANS:: ASME B18.5.2.3M - 20XX, Round Head Square Neck Bolts With Large Head - Metric	$35	Ryan L. Crane, PE	08/12/08
This Standard covers the complete general and dimensional data for metric series round head square neck bolts with large head recognized as American National Standard. For proposed reaffirmations and withdrawals, copies of the current standard may be purchased from ASME Information Central at infocentral@asme.org or by calling 800-843-2763.

Create a new American National Standard (ANS): ASME B31.12 - 20XX, Hydrogen Piping and Pipelines	$95	Gerald M. Eisenberg	09/30/08
This Code is applicable to piping in gaseous and liquid hydrogen service and to pipelines in gaseous hydrogen service. This code is applicable up to and including the joint connecting the piping to associated pressure vessels and equipment, but not to the vessels and equipment themselves. It is applicable to the location and type of support elements, but not to the structure to which the support elements are attached. The design for pressure and temperature shall be in accordance with the requirements of Part IP for Industrial Piping and Part PL for Pipelines. This Code is presented in the following Parts and Appendices: (a) Part GR – General Requirements This Part contains requirements applicable to and referenced by other Parts. This Part contains definitions and requirements for materials, welding, brazing, heat treating, forming, testing, inspection, examination, operation and maintenance. Also, this Part contains quality system topics common to the other Parts. (b) Part IP – Industrial Piping This Part includes requirements for components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, inspection, examination, and testing, of piping. (c) Part PL – Pipelines This Part sets forth requirements for components, design, installation, and testing, of hydrogen pipelines. (d) Mandatory Appendices I thru IX (e) Nonmandatory Appendices A thru F Each Part defines requirements for piping or pipelines, as applicable, within its scope. The requirements are different for different aspects of components, design, fabrication, installation, assembly, erection, inspection, examination, and testing. It is required that each Part be used in conjunction with the General Section, but independent of the other Parts. The joint connecting piping governed by two different Parts shall be subject exclusively to the requirements of the one of the two Parts. It is not intended that this edition of this Code be applied retroactively to existing hydrogen systems.

Revise current ANS: ASME BTH-1 - 20XX, Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices	$20	Daniel R. Sharp	07/28/08
This Standard sets forth design criteria for ASME B30.20 below-the-hook lifting devices. This Standard serves as a guide to designers, manufacturers, purchasers, and users of below-the-hook lifting devices. Public Review Draft File (1458KB)

Revise current ANS: ASME PCC-2 - 20XX, Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping	$95	Steven J. Rossi	07/28/08
This standard provides methods for repair of equipment and piping within the scope of ASME Pressure Technology Codes and Standards after it has been placed in service. These repair methods include relevant design, fabrication, examination and testing practices and may be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances. The methods provided in this standard address the repair of components when repair is deemed necessary based on appropriate inspection and flaw assessment. These inspection and flaw evaluation methods are not covered in this document, but are covered in other post construction codes and standards. Only technical procedures and information are provided; administrative or policy requirements are outside of the scope of this standard. Public Review Draft File (11206KB)

Revise current ANS: ASME PTC 25 - 20XX, Pressure Relief Devices	$40	Steven J. Rossi	09/02/08
This Code provides standards for conducting and reporting tests on reclosing and nonreclosing pressure relief devices normally used to terminate an abnormal internal or external rise in pressure above a predetermined design value in boilers, pressure vessels, and related piping equipment. This Code covers the methods and procedures to determine relieving capacity and additional operating characteristics which may be required for certification or other purposes by other Codes.

Create a new American National Standard (ANS): ASME RT-2 - 20XX, SAFETY STANDARD FOR STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HEAVY RAIL TRANSIT VEHICLES	$20	Geraldine A. Burdeshaw	07/29/08
This Standard applies to carbodies of newly constructed heavy rail transit vehicles for transit passenger service in North America. It defines requirements for the incorporation of passive safety design concepts related to the performance of the carbody of heavy rail transit vehicles in conditions such as collisions, so as to enhance passenger safety, and limit and control damage. This Standard does not cover light rail vehicles, automated people movers, and freight, commuter, high speed or any other rail vehicles under the jurisdiction of the Federal Railroad Administration.
