BS EN -> ASME equivalent standards
BS EN -> ASME equivalent standards
(OP)
Hi,
I work as a mechanical engineer on a power station mainly on statics such as boilers, pipelines, vessels etc. I have recently moved to another power station in the UK which has a mish-mash of equipment made to a variety of standards BS/EN/ASME. As i predominantly come from an ASME background i was wondering if anyone could suggest a list of BS standards equivalent to that of B31.3, B31.1, B16.5, ASME II, V, VIII, IX etc that i might find helpful for repair work such as material properties, PWHT temperatures, welding (WPS & PQR and such..), flange ratings & dimensions, creep properties etc.....
I have heard that some of the older plant is built to BS 806 and BS 1113 so sould it be helpful to obtain these? I have also heard PD 5550 is a useful one.
Longer the list the better, my company has access to the BS EN online shop.
Thanks in advance, Karl

Despite living in a metric country these PN flanges give me a headache.
Whats this BS EN link?

Thanks for the link to the gowelding site. That's a nice compilation of a lot of links.

Keep it with you. Read it each time you have to think about the conversion, because you'll see both the units at the same time. Remember, no ANSI (inches) pipe is really an "inches" unit in any dimension either, and most metric pipes are simply ANSI pipes called something else: A 150 mm is a 6 inch, a 100 mm is a 4 inch pipe, etc.
In my belt clip for my business cards and flashlight, I keep a small (4 inch) metric-ANSI caliper for the smaller conversions.
