ASME B46.1 - Surface Texture (Surface Roughness, Waviness & Lay)
Date of Issuance: June 12, 2003
Scope
This Standard is concerned with the geometric irregularities of surfaces. It defines surface texture and its constituents: roughness, waviness, and lay. It also defines parameters for specifying surface texture. The terms and ratings in this Standard relate to surfaces produced by such means as abrading, casting, coating, cutting, etching, plastic deformation, sintering, wear, erosion, etc.
This Standard is to be used in conjunction with ASME Y14.36M-1996, Surface Texture Symbols, which prescribes engineering drawing and it exhibits surface texture, flaws, and errors of form. It is considered as the linear superposition of roughness, texture.
Other relevant standards, which should be used in design and measurement, are:
ASME B89.6.2-1973 (R1995), Temperature and Humidity Environment for Dimensional Measurement
ASME Y14.5M-1994 (R1999), Dimensioning and Tolerancing, Engineering Drawings and Related Documentation Practices
IHS and ASME
IHS has been a leading distributor of ASME standards and codes since 1974. In 1989, IHS and ASME first produced a full-text, electronically searchable, hyperlinked version of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code on CD-ROM. The 2004 edition is now available.
IHS Provides ASME Standards in the Following Formats
- Internet - The IHS Specs & Standards subscription service provides unlimited, immediate access to complete collections of industry, international/national standards and military specifications.
- Intranet or Extranet - Documents reside on corporate internal networks (depending on individual licensing agreements) for quick desktop access, retrieval and sharing.
- CD-ROM or DVD - For locations with strict security or where online communications is an issue.
- Individual Standards - Individual standards documents may be ordered from IHS Standards Store in hardcopy format. IHS subscription customers may purchase individual Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.
The IHS ASME Service
The ASME Service from IHS offers users ASME Standards or ASME Performance Test Codes by subscription. A combined ASME Standards and Performance Codes subscription is also available.
- The IHS ASME Standards Service
Includes all ASME standards, covering compressors, controls, dimensions, drawings and terminology, elevators and escalators, fasteners, measurement, food/beverage and drug equipment, gas turbines, gauges, keys, lifting devices, lubrication, materials handling devices, nuclear, offshore, piping, plumbing, pressure vessels, pumps, screw threads, steel stacks, storage tanks, surface quality, tools, transmissions, turbines, valves, fittings, flanges, gaskets and window cleaning.
- ASME Performance Test Codes
Includes all ASME Performance Test Codes and supplements, addressing general instructions, definitions, values, diesel and burner fuels, solid and gaseous fuels, steam generating units, coal pulverizers, air heaters, reciprocating steam and steam turbines, pumps, heaters, measurements, pressure control systems, power plants, linear measurements, density determinations, safety and relief valves, incinerators, etc.
ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code
The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) details the latest rules of safety for the design, fabrication, maintenance and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, power producing machines (and associated subsystems) and nuclear power plant components.
The 2004 edition of the ASME BPVC contains thousands of pages of new code, standards and figures. Section II-D is now separated into Customary and Metric volumes. New this year, Section XII, Rules for Construction, and Continued Service of Transport Tanks, may soon be referenced by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Drawing Requirements Manual
The Drawing Requirements Manual (DRM) is a reference for engineers, designers, drafters, machinists and quality control inspectors for preparing engineering drawings for industry, while meeting the requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense. The new 10th Edition DRM includes an introduction section describing specifications and standards that have changed between 1995 and 2000 with current status - new, revised, superseded or canceled.
The DRM and the ASME Y14 Series of drawing and drafting standards are available separately and combined from IHS on CD-ROM.
