Why is ANSI B18.2.1 not located on ANSI website? On ASME

Why is ANSI B18.2.1 not located on ANSI website? On ASME

(OP)
Just wondering if anyone knew why ANSI specs now are designated as ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 or just plain ASME B18.2.1

Was there a transistion somewhere.
I am looking for the ANSI spec, but it is actually located on ASME website.

Just wondered....  I know they are the same specs.

RE: Why is ANSI B18.2.1 not located on ANSI website? On ASME

Although B18.2.1 is "AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD" the writers and committees are ASME.  The current version is ASME B18.2.la-1999.  Few standards are ANSI standards.  Most standards were written by anoterh professional society and adapted as a National Standard once widely accepted.  Also, with more IEC interaction, fewer new standards are identified as ANSI.

ANSI Y14.5 is also now ASME Y14.5.
You will see a lot of these transitions.
