Description / Abstract: FOREWORD

This Standard is a consolidation of two ASME standards, ASME B29.16M-1995 (Welded- Steel-Type Mill Chains, Attachments, and Sprocket Teeth) and ASME B29.18M-1993 (Welded-Steel-Type Drag Chains, Attachments, and Sprocket Teeth). These two standards were combined into one because of the similarity of construction and the usual applications for the two types of chains.

The welded-steel-type mill chains (B29.16M) were developed to provide a series of steel chains similar to cast chains of the detachable, mill, and combination types. Although the welded-steel-type mill chains were introduced many years ago for the forest products industries, their expanded usage in a variety of materials handling and drive applications in recent years stimulated standardization of the basic types.

In September 1967, a subcommittee of ANSI Sectional Committee B29 under the sponsorship of ASME and SAE, was appointed to develop a standard for welded-steel-type mill chains, attachments, and sprocket teeth.

The 1981 revision included updating to the current ASME Standards format and symbols covering chains and sprockets. In addition, chain number W106 was added to the Standard

The 1995 revision included the addition of chain number W855 and the removal of attachments H1, H2, R1, and RR from the Standard due to inactivity. Also added was the minimum bolt hole diameter required for the bolt diameter given for a particular attachment. The minimum ultimate tensile strength (M.U.T.S.) definition was also modified.

The welded-steel-type drag chains (B29.18M) were developed to provide a series of steel chains similar to cast drag chains in the offset and combination types. Welded steel drag chains were originally introduced for the forest products industries and their expanded usage in recent years called for standardization of basic sizes.

In September 1967, a subcommittee of ANSI Sectional Committee B29 was appointed with American Chain Association members from the engineering steel chain industry to develop a standard for welded steel chains, attachments, and sprockets including the drag type.

The American National Standards Institute approved the first edition of ASME B29.18M in 1974.

The 1981 revision included updating to the current ANSI Standards format and symbols covering chains and sprockets. Minimum ultimate strengths were reviewed and updated, where necessary.

The 1993 revision included a modified definition of minimum ultimate tensile strength (M.U.T.S.). An optional barrel configuration was added to Table 1 and an optional wing configuration was added to Table 9.

In the 2001 revision of ASME B29.18M a correction has been made to Table 2 for M.U.T.S. kN values shown in the metric values. Also, the nomenclature for the sprocket tooth form in section 4 has been corrected and the pitch line (C) clearance changed to more closely conform with industry standard.

Both ASME B29.16M and ASME B29.18M were developed by their respective committees to involve only those dimensions which influence interchangeability. To promote the use of each in the international market, the metric equivalents of all dimensions are given.

The 2001 revisions of both ASME B29.16M and ASME B29.18M have been incorporated to form the ASME B29.200-2001 standard. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on December 11, 2001
