FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of ASME B16.34-1996.)
InDecember 1969, American National Standards Committee B16 changed its name from
Standardization of PipeFlangesand Fittings to Standardization of Valves, Fittings, and
Gaskets, reflectingAmericanNationalStandards Institute approval of a broadenedscope
for the B16Committee.At the samemeeting, the committeeapproved a plan for the
organization of a subcommittee to develop a newstandard for steel valves with other than
flanged ends. Subsequently, B16 Subcommittee15wasappointedandhelditsfirstmeeting
inDecember 1970.
Historically, in the development of standards andpressure-temperature ratings forsteel
valves, the various rating classes for flangesprovidedanobviouslylogicalbasis for valve
ratings. Steel valves with flanges of standard dimensions, many also offered in buttwelding-
end versions, weregiven the samepressure-temperature ratings as the flanges. In 1949, a
new edition ofthe standard, thendesignatedB16e 1949, was published, in which a table
coveringwall thickness requirements for weldendvalveshadbeenadded.In1964, the
Manufacturers Standardization Society of theValveand Fittings Industry developedand
published Standard Practice SP 66,covering pressure-temperature ratings of steel buttwelding-
endvalves. SP 66introduced a newmethodfor establishing ratings by making ratings a
function of themechanical strength properties of thebodymaterialatall temperatures.
Followingthe publication of SP 66, B16 activated Subcommittee 4 for thepurpose of
studying the general subject of pressure-temperature ratings and developing rational criteria
for such ratings.
In the B16 chargetoSubcommittee 15, it was established thatthenewstandardwould
--`,,,,,,,`,`,`,,,,,,``,`,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
replace SP 66 and also remove the reference to buttwelding-end valves from B16.5. Flanged-
endvalveswouldcontinuetobecovered in B16.5buton a fullyspecifiedbasis, rather
than as anadd-on.
Astheworkof the subcommitteegotunderway,concurrentactionwas initiated in
Subcommittee 3 for revisionofB16.5.Subsequent operations of Subcommittees 3 and 15
were closely coordinated to provide assurance that the newstandardandtherevisedB16.5
wouldbe compatible.
A key and basic issue of mutual concern in this coordination was the matter of pressure-
temperature ratings. Itwasnecessarytoincorporatethe SP 66type ratings in thenew
standard, but at the same time also to provide ratings equivalent to those in B16.5 covering
the buttwelding equivalents of flanged-endvalves.Subcommittee 4 hadmade definitive
recommendations for revisions in the flangeratingsand it wasobviously desirable to
rationalize the two types of ratings as theywouldappear side-by-side in thenew standard.
The results of these efforts appearherein in the form of pressure-temperature ratings
tables.Themethod of computing the ratings is detailed in Annex F. The ratings differ
from the pre-1968 B16.5 ratings becausethey are now calculated as a function of the
mechanical properties of the pressure boundary materials, in contrast tothe empirical basis
used previously. A change in the SP 66type rating (herein designated Special Class)
discontinues the application of a plasticity factor atelevatedtemperatureswhich, in the
opinion of the committee,couldnotbe justified in dimension-sensitive valves.
--`,,,,,,,`,`,`,,,,,,``,`,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Other innovations include the coverage of forged or fabricated body valves and an increase
in detailed coverage by pressure-temperatureratingsfrom17materials in B16.5 to 24
material groups in thenew standardand in therevisedB16.5.Dimensionalrequirements
havebeenrefinedandaugmented to givethedesignermorelatitudeand the usermore
assurance of adequacy. A numberoftheinnovationshave had trialuse andat least some
degree of acceptance, as theyhavebeentakenfromthesectiononvalve requirements
developed and published by theASMEBoilerand Pressure Vessel Code to covervalves
used in nuclearpowerplants. A section on valve testing eliminates uncertainties on such
points as seat testrequirements and stemseal testing.
Approval for the1973edition of theStandard by the AmericanNational Standards
Institute wasgranted in October 1973.
In December 1973, a reorganization of the subcommittee structure for B16 was approved.
Subcommittee 15 was redesignated as Subcommittee N andwasassignedresponsibilityfor
allsteelvalves.Workbegan to include coverage forflanged-endvalves in ANSIB16.34.
The 1977 edition containedflanged-endvalve requirements formerly in ANSI B16.5. The
rating procedures of B16.5 were adopted and made applicable to Standard Class buttwelding-
end valves. The methodof deriving ratings was revised. Major changes weremade in the
method for determining ratings for austenitic stainless steelvalves and ratings for Class
150 valvesfor all materials.Thepressure-temperature tables andmaterialsgroupswere
rearranged and revisedusing data fromthereference Sections oftheASMEBoilerand
PressureVessel Code throughtheSummer1975Addenda. A number of clarifying and
editorial revisions were also made in order toimprovethetext.It was alsoresolvedthat
frequent minor changes in pressure-temperature ratings because of revisions to the reference
materialstrengthpropertytablesshould be avoidedand that, as a general guide, such
changesshould not be consideredunlessresultingratingswouldbechanged by anamount
in excess of 10%.
Approvalforthe1977edition oftheStandard by theAmericanNational Standards
Institute wasgranted on June16, 1977.
During1979,workbegan on the1981 edition. Materials coverage wasexpanded.Nickel
alloys and other alloys wereadded.Bolting rules wererevised to accommodate special
alloy bolting forthenewmaterials.Revisionswereincluded to clarifyrequirements for
rotary motion valves.,e g , ball valves and butterfly valves. Wafer-type valves were specifically
identified. Other clarifying and editorialrevisionsweremade in order to improvethetext.
Following approvals by the Standards Committee and Secretariat, approval for the1981
edition was granted by theAmericanNational Standards Institute on August14,1981.
During1985, revisions wereproposedthataddedrequirements for socket welding-end
and threaded-end valves. The inclusion of requirements for these valves increased the scope
of the Standard. Also,thelistingsfornickelalloy and other alloyvalvesmaterialswere
expanded. Rulesforthreaded body joints were added, andwafer-typevalve body rules
improved.
Following approvals by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval for the1988
editionwasgranted by theAmericanNational Standards InstituteonFebruary 24, 1988.
During 1993 and carrying over into1994, revisions offeredincludedmultiplematerial
marking and an improvedinterpolationprocedure.Newmaterialswereadded and the
pressure-temperature rating tables were recalculated in accordance with Annex F using the
latest data available fromthereferenceASMEBoiler and PressureVessel Code sources.
An Annex wasadded covering nonmandatoryrequirementsfor a qualitysystemprogram.
Followingthe approvals the Standards Committee and ASME,approval for the new
editionwasgranted by theAmericanNational Standards Institute on October 3, 1996.

INTRODUCTORY NOTES
(These introductory notesare not part of ASME 816.34-1996.)
An AmericanNationalStandardisintended as a basis for common practice by the

manufacturer, the user,and the generalpublic. The existence ofan AmericanNational
Standard does not in itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming
to the standard. Mandatoryconformance is established only by reference to the standard
ina code, specification, sales contract, or public law.
It should be noted,specificallywithregard to this Standard, that certain requirements
reflectingthe general application ofvalves in a widevarietyof services maynot be
considered to be appropriate for somevalveswhoseapplicationisknownandwhichmay
incorporate certain features found by successfulexperience to be satisfactory. Aspecific
case in point is thatinvolvingvalvesdevelopedandused in gas andpetroleumproduct
pipelines. Conformance of such valvestothe existing industry standard, API 6D, mayby
itself be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Federal Rules and Regulations established
by the Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety Operations. Another specific
case is that involving valvesused in instrumentsystemsunder an applicable Piping Code.
Conformance of such valves to the requirements of an existing Piping Code may by itself
be sufficient to satisfy jurisdictional rules and regulations.
This edition of ASME B16.34 is based on U.S. Customary Units of measurement which
are to beregarded as the standard.Conversion factors betweenmetric SI unitsand U.S.
Customary Units are givenin SI-1, ASME Orientation and Guide for Use of SI (Metric)
Units,andASTM E380. Care is requiredwhenconverting equations that contain constant
terms or factors sincethey may also requireconversion.

FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not patt of ASME 616.34-1996.)
In December 1969, American National Standards Committee B16 changed its name from
Standardization of PipeFlanges and Fittings to Standardization of Valves, Fittings,and
Gaskets,reflectingAmericanNational Standards Institute approval of abroadened scope
for the B16 Committee. Atthesamemeeting,thecommitteeapprovedaplan for the
organization of a subcommittee to develop a new standard for steel valves with other than
flanged ends. Subsequently, B16 Subcommittee 15 was appointed and held its first meeting
in December 1970.
Historically, in the development of standards andpressure-temperature ratings for steel
valves,thevarious rating classes for flangesprovided an obviously logical basis for valve
ratings. Steel valves with flanges of standard dimensions, many also offered in buttwelding-
endversions,weregiven the same pressure-temperatureratings as the flanges.In 1949, a
new edition of the standard,thendesignated B16e1949, waspublished, in whichatable
coveringwall thickness requirements for weldendvalveshadbeenadded.In 1964, the
Manufacturers Standardization SocietyoftheValveandFittingsIndustry developed and
published Standard Practice SP 66, covering pressure-temperature ratingsof steel buttwelding-
endvalves. SP 66 introduceda newmethod for establishing ratings by makingratingsa
function of themechanicalstrengthproperties of the bodymaterial at all temperatures.
Followingthepublication of SP 66,B16 activated Subcommittee 4 for thepurpose of
studying the general subject of pressure-temperature ratings and developing rational criteria
for suchratings.
Inthe B16 charge to Subcommittee 15, it was established thatthe new standard would
replace SP 66 and also remove the reference to buttwelding-end valves from B 1 6 5 Flanged-
end valveswould continue to be covered in B16.5 but ona fully specified basis, rather
than as an add-on.
Astheworkofthesubcommitteegotunderway, concurrent actionwasinitiated in
Subcommittee 3 for revision of B 1 6 5 Subsequent operations of Subcommittees 3 and 15
were closely coordinated to provide assurance that the new standard and the revised B16.5
would be compatible.
A key and basic issue of mutual concern in this coordination was the matter of pressure-
temperature ratings. It wasnecessary to incorporate the SP 66 type ratings in the new
standard, but at the same time also to provide ratings equivalent to those in B16.5 covering
thebuttwelding equivalents of flanged-endvalves.Subcommittee 4 hadmadedefinitive
recommendations for revisions in theflangeratingsand it was obviously desirable to
rationalize the two types of ratings as theywould appear side-by-side in the new standard.
The results ofthese efforts appearhereinintheform of pressure-temperatureratings
tables. The method of computing theratingsisdetailed in AnnexF. The ratings differ
fromthepre-1968 B16.5 ratingsbecause they are now calculated as a function of the
mechanical properties of the pressure boundary materials, in contrast to the empirical basis
used previously. A change in the SP 66 typerating (herein designated Special Class)
discontinues theapplication of aplasticity factor at elevated temperatures which, inthe
opinion of the committee, couldnot be justified in dimension-sensitivevalves.
--`,,,,,,,`,`,`,,,,,,``,`,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Other innovations include the coverage of forged or fabricated body valves and an increase
in detailed coverage bypressure-temperatureratings from 17materials in B16.5 to 24
material groups in the new standardand in the revised B16.5. Dimensional requirements
havebeenrefinedandaugmented to give the designer more latitude and the user more
assurance of adequacy. A number of the innovations have had trial use and at least some
degreeof acceptance, as theyhavebeentaken from the section onvalve requirements
developedandpublishedby the ASMEBoilerand Pressure Vessel Code to cover valves
used in nuclear powerplants.Asectiononvalve testing eliminates uncertainties on such
points as seat test requirements and stem seal testing.
Approval for the 1973 edition of the Standard by the AmericanNational Standards
Institute was granted in October 1973.
In December 1973, a reorganization of the subcommittee structure for B16 was approved.
Subcommittee 15 was redesignated as Subcommittee N and was assigned responsibility for
all steel valves.Workbegan to include coverage for flanged-endvalves in ANSIB16.34.
The 1977 edition contained flanged-endvalve requirements formerly in ANSI B 1 6 5 The
rating procedures of B16.5 were adopted and made applicable to Standard Class buttwelding-
end valves. The method of deriving ratings was revised. Major changes were made in the
method for determining ratings for austenitic stainless steel valvesand ratings for Class
150 valves for all materials. The pressure-temperaturetablesand materials groups were
rearrangedand revised using data from the reference Sections of the ASME Boilerand
Pressure Vessel Code through the Summer 1975 Addenda.Anumber of clarifying and
editorial revisions were also madein order to improve thetext.Itwas also resolvedthat
frequent minor changes in pressure-temperature ratings because of revisions to the reference
materialstrengthproperty tables shouldbeavoidedand that, as a general guide, such
changes should not be considered unless resulting ratings would be changed byan amount
in excess of 10%.

During 1979, work began on the 1981 edition. Materials coverage was expanded. Nickel
alloys and other alloys wereadded.Bolting rules wererevised to accommodate special
alloybolting for the new materials.Revisionswereincludedto clarify requirements for
rotary motion valves,, e.g., ball valves and butterfly valves. Wafer-type valves were specifically
identified. Other clarifying and editorial revisions were made in order to improve the text.
Following approvals by the Standards Committeeand Secretariat, approval for the 1981
edition wasgranted by the AmericanNational Standards Institute onAugust 14, 1981.
During1985, revisions wereproposedthatadded requirements for socket welding-end
and threaded-end valves. The inclusion of requirements for these valves increased the scope
of the Standard. Also, the listings for nickel alloy and other alloy valves materials were
expanded. Rules for threadedbody joints were added,andwafer-type valve body rules
improved.
Following approvals by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval for the 1988
edition was granted by theAmericanNational Standards Institute on February 24, 1988.
During 1993 andcarrying over into 1994, revisions offered included multiple material
markingand an improvedinterpolationprocedure.New materials were added and the
pressure-temperature rating tables were recalculated in accordance with Annex F using the
latest data available from the referenceASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code sources.
An Annexwasadded covering nonmandatory requirements for a quality system program.
Following the approvals the Standards Committee and ASME, approval for the new
editionwas granted by the AmericanNational Standards Institute on October 3, 1996.

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) The useris responsiblefor assuring that bolting material is not used beyond limits specified in the governing codes or regulations.
(b) ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel CodeSection II materials that also meet the requirements of the listed ASTM specification
may also be used.
(c) Material limitations, restrictions, and special requirements are shown on pressure-temperature tables, Tables 2.
NOTES:
(1) Repair welding of bolting material is not permitted.
(2) Where austenitic bolting materials have been carbide solution treated but not strain hardened, they are designated Class 1
or Class 1A in ASTM A 193. ASTM A 194 nuts of corresponding material are recommended.
(3) Where austenitic bolting materials have been carbide solution treated and strain hardened, they are designated Class 2 in
ASTM A 193. ASTM A 194 nuts of corresponding material are recommended.
(4) For limitations of usage and strength level, see para. 5.1.1.
(5) Bolts with drilled or undersize heads shall not be used.
(6) Forferritic bolting materials intended for service atlow temperatures, ASTM A 194 Grade 4 or Grade nuts are
7 recommended.
(7) Acceptable nuts for use with these quenched and tempered steel bolts are ASTM A 194 Grade 2 and 2H.
(8) Mechanical property requirements for studs shall be the same as those for bolts.
(9) These are bolting materials suitable for high temperature service with austenitic stainless steel valve materials.
(IO) Only Grades 651 and 660 shall be used.
(11) Nuts may be of the same material or may be of compatible grade of ASTM A 194.
(12) Forging quality not permitted unless the producer last heating or working these parts tests them as required for other
permitted conditions in the same specification and certifies their final tensile, yield, and elongation properties to equal or
exceed the requirements for one of the other permitted conditions.
(13) Maximum operating temperature is arbitrarily set at 500F. unless material has been annealed, solution annealed, or hot
finished, because hard temper adversely affects design stress in the creep-rupture temper range.
