EA Industrial System Energy Assessment Standards Committee

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program (DOE/ITP) initiated the concept of Superior Energy Performance (SEP) as a means to encourage improved industrial energy efficiency and environmental performance. The DOE/ITP mission is intended to provide a mechanism to help corporations assign greater value to energy efficiency improvements, independently verify resulting energy savings, receive public recognition for achievements, and "raise the bar" for industrial energy efficiency overall. As such, a new Standards Committee and Project teams are being formed to provide a standardized framework for conducting energy improvement assessments for industrial steam systems, compressed air systems, process heating systems, and pumping systems.  For additional information on this activity and to find out how to participate, click here.

B5: Technical Committee 94 – Cutting Tools
The B5 Technical Committee 94 is looking for engineers/technicians who are knowledgeable on metalworking cutting tools and their accessories.  This committee is in the need of serious professionals, willing to invest their time and expertise by volunteering to participate in the standardization of Milling, drilling and boring tools, Reamers, Saws and machine knives, Tool holders, adaptors and drivers, Tool guide bushings, Tool set-up gages, and Tool testing procedures.

This committee and its technical working groups generally meet one to two times a year at mutually agreed venues. As member of the committee you will be submitting, drafting and reviewing standards proposals and drafts and making comments and counterproposals on our national standards.

B40 Committee on Standards for Pressure and Temperature Instruments and Accessories
This Committee is looking for engineers/technicians who are knowledgeable on pressure gauges and temperature instruments.  The B40 Committee is responsible for maintaining the two ASME B40 standards.  They are:

B40.100 - 2005 Pressure Gauges and Gauge Attachments  - This Standard provides terminology, definitions, testing and safety considerations of Dial and Digital Type of Pressure Indicating Gauges, Diaphragm Seals, Snubbers and Pressure Limiter Valves.

B40.200 - 2001 Thermometers, Direct Reading and Remote Reading - This Standard provides definitions, testing, and construction and safety issues of Bimetallic Actuated, Filled System and Liquid-in-Glass Thermometers and Thermowells and Elastic Temperature Sensors.

The Committee is expected to meet once a year usually in May in Florida.

PTC 12.1 Feedwater Heaters

This Committee is responsible for maintaining the ASME Performance Test Code PTC 12.1-2000 “Closed Feedwater Heaters”. The purpose of the Code is currently to provide the procedures, direction and guidance for determining the performance of a closed feedwater heater, with regard to (a) Terminal temperature difference; (b) Drain cooler approach; (c) Tube-side pressure loss; and (d) Shell-side pressure loss. The Code applies to all horizontal and vertical heaters except those with partial-pass drain cooling zones. (The foregoing is subject to change in the next revision at the Committee’s discretion.)
