Description / Abstract:
This Standard is intended to provide all users (manufacturers,
distributors, design and
configuration, parts control, inventory control, test and maintenance
functions) with the
capability to identify externally threaded fastener products by a
pre-selected order of coding as
specified herein.
Although a PIN may be formulated, this does not assure the
availability of a B18 product conforming
to it.
The B18 PIN coverage is a self contained code with distinct
identification linkage to individual
ASME B18 externally threaded fastener product standards. The PIN code
concept provides for direct
traceability back to the applicable B18 product standard. In case of
conflict with this document
and the B18 product standard, the B18 product standard takes
precedence.
