Work was agonizingly slow as the group gradually developed the document in the desired format. United States of America Standards Institute. This Standard offers more performance requirements than has been customary in B16 standards. The American Gas Association determined that standardization of gas shut-off valves used in distribution services was desirable and needed. Its efforts were successful when. In 1982. This edition established U. The revision was approved on February 10. and development work commenced in 1958. In addition. Also incorporated were metric values and a nonmandatory Quality System Program Annex. The revised standard incorporated testing criteria for valves. The group operated as a Sectional Committee (later redesignated as a Standards Committee) under the authorization of the American Engineering Standards Committee (subsequently named American Standards Associ- ation.S. the AGA Committee became Subcommittee No. a new materials section was added along with several other revisions. iv . customary units as the standard and metric equivalents were deleted. In 2002. The 1990 revision deleted the sampling inspection table on the basis that the scope clearly limited the standard to turning torque valves at the time of manufacture. American National Standards Committee B16 was recognized as an ASME Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI. and the Heating and Piping Contractors National Association (later the Mechanical Contractors Association of America). FOREWORD The B16 Standards Committee was organized in the Spring of 1920 and held its organizational meeting on November 21 of that year. which could have a specific pressure rating within this pressure range. final approval was granted by the institute. the scope of the standard was clarified so that the standard could be applicable to all manually operated metallic gas valves for use in gas piping standards up to 125 psig. In 1968. and is neither permitted nor prohibited. The revision incorporated some major revisions to the format. American National Standards Institute). The AGA Task Committee on Standards for Valves and Shut-Offs was formed.

Use of these valves in higher rated systems is outside the scope of this Standard. It is expected that this will permit both manufacturers and users greater latitude in producing and using products made to this Standard. This revision was made to clarify the fact that the standard is also applicable to valves with service designations other than 60 psig and 125 psig.
