Contact SupplierThe B16.5 standard was first published by ANSI in 1973. Â Prior to that it was an ASA standard. Â In 1996 the standard changed to ASME B16.5. Â For 10 years prior to the change, the standard included both and was listed as ANSI/ASME B16.5. Â
So what's the difference? Â The answer is there is no difference. Â The ASA, ANSI and ASME have continually refined and broadened the B16.5 standard. Â I'm sure there is a committee working on future enhancements right now. Â
The current and correct standard is ASME B16.5. Â ANSI B16.5 is common industry lingo and is still referred to extensively by architects, engineers, manufacturers and suppliers. Â And although the ANSI B16.5 standard does not technically exist, it its understood as another way to say ASME B16.5. Â
