PROJECT INITIATION ANSI procedures require notification by ANSI- accredited standards developers of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result in new or revised American National Standards. The following is a list of proposed actions and new standards that have been received recently from accredited standards developers. To view information about additional standards for which a project initiation notification has been submitted, and to search approved American National Standards, please visit ansi.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive. Ñ BSR/AWS C6.3M/C6.3-202x, Recommended Practices for Friction Stir Welding. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS C6.3M/C6.3-2023.

This specification provides the minimum fabrication, equipment, material, process, and procedure requirements, as well as inspection requirements for the furnace brazing of steels, copper, copper alloys, and heat- and corrosion-resistant alloys and other materials that can be adequately furnace brazed (the furnace brazing of aluminum alloys is addressed in AWS C3.7M/C3.7, Specification for Aluminum Brazing). This specification provides criteria for classifying furnace brazed joints based on loading and the consequences of failure and quality assurance criteria defining the limits of acceptability in each class. This specification defines acceptable furnace brazing equipment, materials, and procedures, as well as the required inspection for each class of joint. Ñ BSR/AWS C3.7M/C3.7-202x, Specification for Aluminum Brazing. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS C3.7M/C3.7-2011 (R2021). This specification presents the minimum fabrication, equipment, material, process procedure, and inspection requirements for the brazing of aluminum by all of the processes commonly used—atmosphere furnace, vacuum furnace, and flux processes. Its purpose is to standardize aluminum brazing requirements for all appli- cations in which brazed aluminum joints of assured quality are required. It provides criteria for classifying aluminum brazed joints based on loading and the consequences of failure and quality assurance criteria defining the limits of acceptability of each class. Ñ BSR/AWS D14.9/D14.9M-202x, Specification for the Welding of Hydraulic Cylinders. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS D14.9/D14.9M-2022.

Manufacturer’s responsibilities are presented as they relate to the welding practices that have been proven successful within the industry in the production of hydraulic cylinders. Included are clauses defining procedure qualification, performance qualification, workmanship, and quality requirements, as well as inspection requirements and repair requirements. Ñ BSR/API 579-1/ASME FFS-1-202x, Fitness-For- Service. This is a revision of ANSI/API 579-1/ ASME FFS-1-2021. This standard provides guidance for conducting FFS assessments using methodologies specifically prepared for pressurized equipment.

Ñ BSR/ASME B31P-202x, Standard Heat Treatments for Fabrication Processes. This is a revision of ANSI/ASME B31P-2017. This standard provides requirements for heat treatment of piping assemblies that meet the requirements of ASME B31 code sections. These require- ments apply to (a) preheating, (b) postweld heat treatment (PWHT), (c) postforming heat treatment (PFHT) required by the ASME B31 code sections for other fabricated assemblies including forming operations such as bending, and (d) heat treatments required by contract documents. Ñ BSR/AWS D10.4M/D10.4-202x, Guide for Welding Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping and Tubing. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS D10.4M/ D10.4-2023. This document presents a detailed discussion of the metallurgical characteristics and weldability of many grades of austenitic stainless steel used in piping and tubing. The delta ferrite content as expressed by ferrite number is explained, and its importance in minimizing hot cracking is discussed. Several figures and tables illustrate recommended joint designs and procedures. Annex A presents infor- mation on the welding of high-carbon stainless steel cast pipe and fittings. CALL FOR COMMENT ON PROPOSALS LISTED The public comment period has passed for the following draft American National Standards, which are currently in review. Ñ BSR/AWS D14.0/D14.0M-202x, Machinery and Equipment Welding Specification. This is a revision, redesignation, and consolidation of ANSI/AWS D14.3/D14.3M-2018, ANSI/ AWS D14.4/D14.4M-2019, ANSI/AWS D14.5/ D14.5M-2009, and AWS D14.1/D14.1M. This specification establishes design, manufacture, quality, inspection, and repair requirements for carbon, low-alloy, and alloy steel welded connections in machinery and equipment. It addresses topics including weld joint design, workmanship, quality acceptance criteria, nondestructive examination methods (visual, radiographic, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and liquid penetrant), repair of weld defects, and post-weld heat treatment.

Ñ BSR/ASME TDP-1-202x, Prevention of Water Damage to Steam Turbines Used for Electric Power Generation: Fossil-Fueled Plants. This is a revision and redesignation of ANSI/ ASME TDP-1-2013. This standard includes recommended practices concerned primarily with the prevention of water damage to steam turbines used for fossil-fuel-fired electric power generation. The practices address damage due to water, wet steam, and steam backflow into a steam turbine. The practices are applicable to conventional steam cycle, combined cycle, and cogeneration plants. The practices cover design, operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of those aspects of the following power plant systems and equipment concerned with preventing the induction of water into steam turbines: (a) motive steam systems, (b) steam attemperation systems, (c) turbine extraction/admission systems, (d) feedwater heaters, (e) turbine drain system, (f) turbine steam seal system, (g) start-up systems, (h) condenser steam and water dumps, and (i) steam generator sources. Any connection to the turbine is a potential source of water either by induction from external equipment or by accumulation of condensed steam. The sources treated herein specifically are those found to be most frequently involved in causing damage to turbines. Although water induction into the high and intermediate pressure turbines has histor- ically been recognized as the most damaging, experience has shown that water induction in low pressure turbines can cause significant damage and should also be taken seriously. This standard is not intended to impose new require- ments retroactively for existing facilities. Ñ BSR/ASTM F2016-202x, Practice for Establishing Shipbuilding Quality Requirements for Hull Structure, Outfitting, and Coatings. This is a revision of ANSI/ASTM F2016- 2000 (R2018). Ñ BSR/AWS D17.3/D17.3M-202x, Specification for Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum Alloys for Aerospace Applications. This is a revision and redesignation of ANSI/AWS D17.3/D17.3M- 2021. This specification covers the general requirements for the friction stir welding of aluminum alloys for aerospace applications. It includes the requirements for weldment design, qualification of personnel and procedures, fabri- cation, and inspection. Ñ BSR/AIAA S-081B-2018 (R202x), Space Systems – Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels. This is a reaffirmation of ANSI/AIAA S-081B-2018. This standard establishes baseline requirements for the design, analysis, fabrication, test, inspection, operation, and maintenance of composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). These COPVs are used for pressurized, hazardous, or nonhazardous liquid or gas storage in space systems including spacecraft and launch vehicles. This standard is applicable to COPVs constructed with a metal liner and a carbon fiber/polymer overwrap. Ñ BSR/ASA S2.29-2003 (R202x), Guide for the Measurement and Evaluation of Vibration of Machine Shafts on Shipboard Machinery. This is a reaffirmation of ANSI/ASA S2.29-2003 (R2019). This standard contains procedures for the measurement and evaluation of the mechanical vibration of nonreciprocating machines, as measured on rotating shafts. It contains criteria for evaluating new machines and for vibration monitoring. This standard is related to the various parts of the ISO 7919 series that provides guidelines for the evalu- ation of different types of machines. The type of machinery covered in this part is shipboard machinery. This is a new ANSI standard, and there is, at present, no International Standards Organization version of this standard.
